Using a TPanel as a container is generally good advice for similar
problems with all TGraphicControl descendents. I often use a TPanel to
contain a TImage for this reason.
Perhaps the point that needs to come across is that TLabel is a
TGraphicControl and is drawn by the LCL, while TStaticText is a
TWinControl descendent (as is TPanel) and is drawn by the underlying
"interface" e.g. GTK2. They thus behave differently e.g. with Z-order.

what about a new form with FormStyle := fsSystemStayOnTop ?!

Hi,
I'm using Lazarus 1.8.4 on Win10. In my application I have a Form
with 2 functions. (1) Is to download files from an internet server
using ftp, (2) is to store the data from those files in the
datacollection.
Sometimes I loose my internet connection and in that case I want
to show a warning in the the middle of the form and in front of
all the other components. For the warning I use a TLabel component
for the layout parameter tlCenter. But the label is partly hidden
behind another component (TFileListBox) and BringToFront doesn't
help. Now I tried a TStaticText component and that works just
fine. Except that it has no Layout property and no Paint procedure
I could override. Is there a component that gives me all the
behaviour I want? Is there a way to bring the TLabel realy in
front of all other components? Is there a way to vertical align
the text of a TStaticText caption?
You can put the TLabel inside a TPanel.
