I use FPC 3.0.5 with fpreport from trunk along with lazarus trunk.

Just to test the waters:

1- Create a new application
2- Place a TFPReport on the form
3- Double click the FPReport component to open the designer
4- Add a page by clicking the add page toolbutton
-> Bug1: The page properties are not displayed in the designer's object 
inspector
5- Add a databand and enlarge it
6- Click on memo toolbutton
7- Click on the databand without dragging. The memo will be created with 
0 size.
8- Resize the memo with the mouse
-> Bug2: The designer freezes and cannot be closed anymore

If you can confirm these 2 bugs, i'll start creating bug reports in the 
tracker.
