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

[Martin Frb]

If it hooks ExtTextOut, then the color settings will most likely make a 
difference.

Each time the color (or text style, e.g. bold) changes, the Editor 
interrupts the output, and makes a new call. Also colors change, when 
the caret moves, so there is constant redrawing.

I attached a file editoroptions.xml
It has (almost) all colors black and white. Selected text will be bold.

While lazarus is not running, put this file into: (replacing username 
with your name / make a backup of the old file)

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\lazarus\editoroptions.xml

This file also overrides keyboard shortcuts, and mouse settings (in case 
you changed any of them).
