[Lazarus] Lazarus code editor: what happened with the caret?

[Martin Frb]

To rebuild the IDE, open the Tools Menu.

2nd last entry: "Build Lazarus ... profile name"

Or last entry "Configure build lazarus" which opens a dialog, so you can 
specify compiler options.

How does NVDA read the content of a control? Does it do OCR?
Because SynEdit is entirely custom drawn. SynEdit does not expose it's 
text through any API.

If it is OCR, maybe it helps to switch SynEdit to black and white. 
(Tools: Options, then Editor, Colors / But you have to switch of each 
color by itself.
Also make sure you go to the config for "Markup and Matches" and disable 
everything there. (Especially the new option "Outline (global)"

If it is an issue with scrolling: Try compiling with the option 
-dSynNewScrollBarUpdate
