when compiling uidesigner with actual fpc from svn it fails with

I don't know why
fpc raises an error - is there a rule, that a local identifier cannot
have the same name as a class procedure ? (makes no real sense,
because
a class procedure can be accessed via a full qualified name).
It makes sense because that way you can accidentally hide an
identifier, which can result in all sorts of hard to debug behaviour.
It's one of the core differences between objfpc and Delphi mode.
