You didn't mention that particular combination which is... interesting. 
Does it depend on the widget set being used for Lazarus (incomplete C&P) 
and the other programs (which work)?

As previously discussed, VNC is broken in many areas and it's unclear 
how much this is fixable since newer versions aren't open source: 
there's been no significant work done on it for something like ten 
years. If you want to run Lazarus remotely then tunnel it over SSH.
