Yes! The crashes still happen!
-------------------------------
I got the crash now after editing for an hour or so... Bad stuff!

So in summary:
When I access the RPi4 using RealVNC from my Win 10 PC using the basic
desktop I see this:

1) The composing of special chars using AltGr works fine in the
Lazarus IDE as opposed to how it does when using the VNC virtual
desktop.

2) But when I am editing in the Lazarus code editor all of a sudden
Lazarus just disappears withoiut a trace and with no saving of edited
files. So crashes remain.

Basically this is a showstopper for serious Lazarus development on the
RPi platform using VNC server version:

VNC(R) Server 6.6.0 (r41949) ARMv6 (Sep 20 2019 16:44:18)

(I don't know how to upgrade the server version on the RPi4, apt
update does not find a later version.)

On Windows 10 I use VNC Viewer 6.19.1115(r42122)x64 (Nov 11 2019
12:22:30)
