Vincent, I'm not sure if you appreciate the hassle this teeny, tiny change has caused. Now anyone who ever installed the ported Orpheus package, when they move to a newer Lazarus will discover that it no longer works. Period.
The fix is not difficult but I can't retroactively upgrade others' installations. This is my main issue with Lazarus these days: How perfectly good code slowly "erodes" over time as Lazarus advances. It's almost impossible to keep up. Staying with a stable build is not an option since the widgetset improvements we need are often tied to LCL changes as well. Thanks. -Phil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vincent Snijders Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 5:14 PM To: General mailing list Subject: Re: [Lazarus] TextHeight property in TCustomForm Hess, Philip J schreef: > But did removing it add any value to Lazarus?
