Hello,
One of your suggested changes indeed showed a system caret, but there is
probably another change, because the NVDA is unable to show me lines
after I scrool with a down arrow to try to read the contents. But that
may be a NVDA problem.
For now I will use external editor for editing and special IDE features
like code completion directly in the environment.
I now have another question, a bit unrelated to this thread but relevant
for me. If I make a change like this, I obviously need to rebuild the
IDE. Currently I am using the command
lazbuild --build-ide= -q -q
Can someone perhaps suggest a better command, another parameters for
example? I am not sure if that is totally correct. I will then save the
command to b.bat to make rebuilds easier.
Thanks

Latest SynEdit uses a custom drawn caret.
This was introduced to enable multiple carets. That is: having several
carets at the same time, to type and edit several locations simultaneously.
(e.g shift-alt down, gives you 2 carets, one in each row)
Since Windows does not allow for more than one caret to be created, it
was necessary to draw them directly.
See components\synedit\synpluginmulticaret.pp
line 1713
if ScreenCaret.Painter.ClassType = TSynEditScreenCaretPainterSystem then
ScreenCaret.ChangePainter(TSynEditScreenCaretPainterInternal);
Comment this out. (multicaret will not work / only one caret will be
visible).
Or change
components\synedit\syneditpointclasses.pas
line 3085
TSynEditScreenCaret.ChangePainter
to always set TSynEditScreenCaretPainterSystem

Hello,
After years, I just built a fresh Lazarus from SVN. I ran the IDE, and
noticed immediately that a code editor is completely unusable to
screen reader. I am running Windows and using NVDA. In the past, the
code editor was partially usable. But now, NVDA is unable to see the
caret.
So I would like to ask: is caret drawn in some nonstandard way? Or
could I set any settings in options to try to fix this?
