Latest SynEdit uses a custom drawn caret.
This was introduced to enable multiple carets. That is: having several
carets at the same time, to type and edit several locations simultaneously.
(e.g shift-alt down, gives you 2 carets, one in each row)
Since Windows does not allow for more than one caret to be created, it
was necessary to draw them directly.
See components\synedit\synpluginmulticaret.pp
line 1713
if ScreenCaret.Painter.ClassType = TSynEditScreenCaretPainterSystem then
ScreenCaret.ChangePainter(TSynEditScreenCaretPainterInternal);
Comment this out. (multicaret will not work / only one caret will be
visible).
Or change
components\synedit\syneditpointclasses.pas
line 3085
TSynEditScreenCaret.ChangePainter
to always set TSynEditScreenCaretPainterSystem

Hello,
After years, I just built a fresh Lazarus from SVN. I ran the IDE, and
noticed immediately that a code editor is completely unusable to
screen reader. I am running Windows and using NVDA. In the past, the
code editor was partially usable. But now, NVDA is unable to see the
caret.
So I would like to ask: is caret drawn in some nonstandard way? Or
could I set any settings in options to try to fix this?
