As part of "having always an open project" there are routines to "save to 
virtual project" that I think are causing this and other instability problems.  
It's like being in a zombie movie, undead values/properties of previous 
versions are somehow still around to interfere with the current version.  We 
need to be able to completely close a project, not just the "editor files" 
(whatever they are).

Since this "feature" is both annoying (not just to me but to others as their 
messages have shown) and unneeded, it should be completely deleted anyway 
(including "save to virtual project") before version 1.0 is released.  I really 
believe this is behind most complaints about Lazarus being unstable and/or 
unusable.

Only the Unit shows.  Tapping F12 does nothing, and trying to open the form 
from the toolbar starts error messages I can't escape - I have to delete or 
move all the files and start over.
