I have never used TSynEdit before so I tried dropping one onto my form and it
looked a bit "strange" with a wide margin to the left... > How does it work 
(especially the margin that steals space)?

Play with the properties in the project inspector, you can remove the gutter (gutter.visible -> false), the margin (by setting RightEdge to a very big value, say 800) and customize much of its appearance..


Note that I do not need an editor as such, just somewhere to show the log lines,
and possibly also a way to copy certain lines or text sections to paste
somewhere else.

Me too. Just set the readonly property to true and that's it.
Then just treat it like a TMemo (using the Lines property). It has some more goodies that aren't available in a Tmemo. As I said, I was using a TMemo for logging and it was too slow under windows, I switched to a TSynEdit and had great improvement in performance.


BTW this application is on Windows and I am using Lazarus 2.0.12 and FPC 3.2.0

So you'll probably see an improvement by using a TSynEdit (or maybe not, the only way to know is to try it).
