Then it should say "scripting active"?

That means, that this install of Lazarus has either not yet encountered 
the error, or that the "editormacroscript.xml" was deleted/reset (i.e. 
error removed from content).
( editormacroscript.xml is in your primary config path. You can find 
where that is from the menu: View > IDE Internals > About IDE )

If you get the error again (with or without the changed unit), then 
check for
1) the "test again" button
2) the editormacroscript.xml file

Anyway if scripting is active, then the self test runs at every start of 
your IDE. And that leaves the question why it does not report the error 
anymore. (and when the editormacroscript.xml was deleted/reset)

Lazarus usually detects changed files while running. Though I do not 
know if a package will be marked for rebuild in that case.... But save 
is to do so when closed. Or to choose "clean all" as then the file will 
be rebuild no matter what
But the changes in the file do not affect the button.

That is the default setting, it can be changed though
