[Lazarus] Uninstalling of Lazarus 1.8.2 under Win 10 (64) incomplete

[Joe via Lazarus]

I clicked on 'Einstellungen', then 'Apps', then 'Lazarus 1.8.2' and 
'Deinstallieren'. A message appeared: 'Diese App und alle dazugehörigen 
Infos werden deinstalliert.' Again I clicked on 'Deinstallieren' and 
rebootet.


Lazarus was removed, but not the offer to remove it under Einstellungen 
->  Apps. There is still 'Lazarus 1.8.2.
I clicked on it, clicked again on 'Deinstallieren' and eventually got 
the error message 'D:\lazarus\unins000 konnte nicht gefunden werden. 
Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie den Namen richtig eingegeben haben, und 
wiederholen Sie den Vorgang.'


Happens under Windows Version 1803 Build 17134.48.

To make things even more confusing, for fossils like me, there's also the 
"caret"...

This is what the Apple Human User Interface Guidelines have to say on this topic
(admittedly not the most recent version, as I don't have that one):

[caret] A generic term for a symbol that indicates where the next text will be
inserted. The caret used in Macintosh text is a vertical bar (|).

[cursor] See pointer.

[pointer] A small shape on the screen that follows the movement of the mouse or
shows where the user’s next action will take place. The pointer can be an arrow,
an I-beam, a crossbar, a wristwatch, or other appropriate image. Called the
cursor in Macintosh technical manuals. See also insertion point.

[insertion point] The position where text will be inserted, usually marked by a
blinking vertical bar.

As far as I can see from browsing the latest version on their site, the
terminology hasn't changed since my version was published.

Microsoft on their site state this in their Design guidelines:

Physically moving the mouse moves the graphic pointer (also referred to as the
cursor) on the screen.
...

The caret is the flashing vertical bar that is displayed when the user is typing
into a text box or other text editor. The caret is independent of the pointer;
by default, Windows hides the pointer while the user is typing.

See 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742466(v=vs.85).aspx

So it seems as though for HID Guidelines "cursor" and "pointer" refer to the
same thing.

Kudos to Christian. The last push to finally say goodbye to LazReport.
Also well done to all that took the original fpReport and ran with it -
improving and fixing it further than the time I had available. The
absolute joy of seeing open source development at its best. FPC really
have a gem of a reporting tool now!



Is it have LazReport like script feature?

[Lazarus] "End of source not found" error in Trunk.

[Sergey Bodrov via Lazarus]

I got annoing "End of source not found" when use autocompletion
(Ctrl-Space) on random places of code. After adding/removing empty line in
such place, autocompletion works, but over some time error repeats again.
What's wrong? It's Codetools bug or some incorrect options setting? I not
sure, but maybe that's begins after installing LAMW and laz4android modules
from fpcupdeluxe.

These are the most important ones.
Sometimes developers create a branch to work on a big feature, which

Re: [Lazarus] IDE multi-caret options wishes

[Vojtěch Čihák via Lazarus]

Yes, even on my first PC - Commodore 64 - it was "cursor". Therefore it is 
stupid that Delphi named that property Cursor: TCursor and it means image of mouse 
pointer.

The "text cursor" has been around for much longer than the mouse device
existed. Think by how many years the terminal interface on Mainframes,
UNIX workstations and even DOS predates the Mouse device.

My point exactly - you simply worded it much better than I did (no

I've never regarded the mouse pointer as a "cursor", but I was concerned
it might be my age showing. ;-)
