Now, for the last few weeks I have migrated to a new laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64. I have not changed anything on the RPi4 and I have moved settings etc over from the old laptop to the new as I was installing all of the software including VNC. Then I have finally connected by VNC to the RPi4 to continue the work over there. Amazingly, now without changing a thing on the RPi4 the issues I have been hit by earlier when using "special chars" are gone! There is no tab change or anything like that anymore! The only conclusion I can draw is that the VNC client version I installed on the new laptop (6.19.1115 x64) from Nov 2019 contains a fix for the reported problem! The old laptop had VNC version 6.0.1 x64 from Nov 2016.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
