[Lazarus] Labels and Font size

[Kostas Michalopoulos]

Using the anchor editor is a more lightweight and flexible approach than
using nested panels. You only need nested panels for very complex layouts.
The only problem is the anchor editor itself obscures the form you're
editing more often than not - i'd prefer to see anchor editing to be done
inside the form editor (possibly with the help of small context-sensitive
popups like those in Visual C#'s form editor) instead of using a big
separate window.

(btw in case you haven't used anchor editor, it isn't the same as editing
the anchors property in the object inspector - it something way more
flexible and configurable that i wish all GUI toolkits had)
