That's why they did it. I understand their reasons, but it's not so cool if you don't care about this event and have a list of 10000 elements. It's a serious performance penalty in such case. It would have been better if this behaviour had been optional (remember, it appeared only in later Delphi versions). As soon as I figure out how, I will change the FPC implementation so this doesn't happen unless really needed.
