Hello Fred,

this is a supplement to my previous posting here. The therein mentioned
projects are mainly working now, and I've also produced a SQLite browser
application similar to the Postgresql one. My "newdialogs" are mostly
working as well, although there's one annoying effect left, making the main
form "blink" for a moment when one is closed. I hope to get this eliminated.
But I've a BIG gripe to present: At least with the current ide, debugging
has evolved to a nightmare. That the debugger crashes for any minor reason,
like being pointed to a dynamic array (ANY dynamic array variable, not just
uninitialized ones), is a minor problem here. The real nuisance is the
handling of editor files. Assume you have a unit file open and try to
compile the program, but there is an error in the unit file. THis leads
unconditionally to another instance of the unit file to be opened to presnt
the error, AND if the unit has a form, complain that the form file CANNOT
be opened correctly, instead opening it as an ordinary text file AND
setting THIS as the active editor file. This is completely reproducible
here. And the same procedure happens even without an error on running a
program up to a breakpoint set with in an ipen editor file - it gets
RELOADED a second time, and the ide complains about an unability to also
load the uni's form as a form, instead presenting it as a text file. This
also happens, "of course", when a real error occurs during running a
program. It looks a bit like a problem with the editor's file management,
which cannot recognize whether a file is already open or hust blindly tries
to load any file or "unit" handed it by some other function, but alway<s
trying to open a source and a form file together. That's really annoying
duringdebugging, when you try to set and clear breakpoints as needed, as by
doing this, you often PROVOKE such a multiple load process and the ensuing
complaint from the editor, distracting you from what you wanted to achieve
or observe.
I DO hope that this is just affecting "me" (my system), as I'm using a not
so really common variant of Linux,albeit a current one:
Slackware Linux version 15 for x86_64, kernel 6.6.15 on AMD A10-9700 with
RADEON R7 graphics, using plain X11 with the openbox window manager and NO
"desktop environment"..The ide causing the problems wascompiled with
FPC 3.2.2, but works identically when compiled with FPC 3.3.1, using msegui
version 5.10.2 (although the behaviour, though not thoroughly observed,
also existed already for a few of the previous versions).
I hope this helps to investigate - and reproduce - the problem and it's
correction.

Thank you very much, and have a good time nonetheless.

BTW, I'll probabely "publish" the latest project sources on my web site
soon, but I'd like to correct the remaining issues first, if possible.
I'll give you notice here.
