This option has an impact, in particular, on "Search results" form, "ToDo List" and etc. I discussed this with Mattias. While the option you mention is useful for the windows you mention, We think the IDE spotter is more like a dropdown in functionality. So single click. But I will change the spacing.

Michael. A further issue: Spotter appears not to know about menu items added by some packages. For instance, LazProfiler adds three new menu items to the IDE, but Spotter does not list them. I don't know how lazprofiler installs itself, so I can't comment. But in general, I suppose that is possible. It only lists available commands. If a package installs a menu item without a command, then it will not be visible in the spotter... See it as an incentive for package maintainers to install commands instead of simply menu items : I can imagine that installing commands also makes them available for e.g. the editor toolbar. But I suppose some lazarus dev needs to comment on the exact inner workings. Michael. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Re: [Lazarus] IDE Spotter- issues
TEdit.Autosize does autosizing of edit's Height to its Font (mainly font.size or font.height). It does not affect edit's Width.

(1.3x bigger.) Done. Originally there were some resizing problems. At some point I indeed disabled AutoSize, because the effect of AutoSize for an edit is totally unclear to me.
