I also came across it and it confused me for a second as well. Then I
realized my mistake.
But anyway, you can do it and the code compiles, so CodeTools should
allow it. During the compilation you get a hint about "overriden method
has lower visibility [...]", if I remember correctly.
So yes, to avoid confusion I would say the visibility filter is
unnecessarily restrictive.
+ What bugs me even more is that protected methods are not available
with the inherited keyword:
procedure TMyClass2.Foo;
begin
inherited Proc // CodeTools do not list Proc that is in protected
section of parent class from different unit. It works without the
"inherited" keyword, though
end;
I have to check why.
