Just some additional information here. I have a copy of the latest Debian-based version of Linux Mint running in a virtual machine (my main system is the Ubuntu-based Mint) so I installed Lazarus and FPC from the Debian repositories. This gave me FPC 3.0.4 and Lazarus 2.0.0, with some additional versioning which I think indicates that it's been built and packaged by Debian. This combination works perfectly, no trace of the problem. So, I guess the next thing I do is to try the various SourceForge versions and see how far back I have to go to get rid of the problem under Ubuntu-based Mint. I will report back when I have an answer, but depending on how many regressions are needed, it may take me a day or two. Watch this space... Brian. -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
