[Lazarus] CharMapDialog and more...

[theo]

Hello

I've encountered a strange behaviour after installing today's Lazarus
snapshot on my Win2k in VirtualBox.

When I select "Edit" -> "Insert from Character Map" after starting the
IDE, nothing happens.
After a while, I found out that it's showing up only after I've once
clicked in the editor window.
If this is intended, the Menu Item should be disabled in this case.

But before that, I've tried to run the IDE unter GDB to see if there is
some error message.
I have no idea if this is anyhow related, but the IDE didn't start up
completely.
A GDB backtrace showed this.:

Just reporting, I don't know what it means.

Thank you
