1. TextHint in Delphi is theme dependent and OS dependent (available for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or later), in Lazarus not. What is the desired behaviour?
TextHint in Lazarus should be OS independent (it was decided long time ago).
2. TextHint in a TMemo isn't shown in Delphi (of course the property TextHint is there and can be written and readed). In Lazarus it is sometimes shown but not correct removed, if a line is inserted by code. Should TextHint generally not be shown in a TMemo or the bugs removed?
The TextHint implementation should be completely rewritten. It shouldn't use the text property but paint the TextHint onto the control by itself. Windows can do that and Qt/Gtk2 should be able to do it as well (IIRC - I talked about it with zeljko in Lazarus ML). For that some new virtual paint method (PaintAfterInterface) should be introduced - that would call the widgetset dependent PaintAfterInterface method.
