[Lazarus] Design issues with the new menu editor

2016-01-03 Thread Anthony Walter 
Ondrej has been rapidly fixing issues in mantis and noted that there are
problems with the new menu designer and the docked form designer.

http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=29328

While testing I noticed a few design issues with the new menu editor which
apparently isn't working nicely with the docked form designer. Could
whomever wrote or is working on the new menu editor take a look at it while
the docked form designer is installed and perhaps help resolve some of
these issues?

Thanks

Howard,

Thanks for your work on the new menu designer, and also thanks in advance
for taking a look at it with the docked form designer installed. If you
have svn access and need anything tested let me know.

I will do my best on this. Actually, blush, I never tested the new menu 
editor with the docked form designer (I'm old school and never use it 
myself; I'm just aware that it has taken many months of hard work by 
several skilled minds to get the docking reasonably stable).


Continual interaction with the OI by a non-modal window in relation to 
an arbitrary selection of components is rather tricky to manage...

Perhaps this is the origin of the instability Kostas mentioned earlier.
