Hi,
If one checks the Show Compiler dialog in Lazarus and tries to debug to
a line with f4, or place a breakpoint somewhere and execute with f9
Lazarus becomes unresponsive when exiting the application.
This is due to 2 dialogs up at the same time, with the smaller one
(Execution ended) being right behind the bigger one (Show compiler
progress left there from the initial compilation).
Nothing should be done until the show compiler progress dialog is closed
manually (would be nice to have the focus on it after compilation too,
instead of on the messages window so an enter would close it).
No execution or debugging or source code editing or anything should
happen until this dialog is closed.
This major show stopper bug was reported in 2008 in mantis
(http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12020 and the dozen related
reports) and no fixes done since then.
I would think that these kinds of problems would have priority because
people meet them in the first 10 minutes when starting to use Lazarus.
But one and half years with no fixes seems a little bit too long when
everyone is so upbeat with open source software getting fixes so faster
than proprietary ones.
If it cannot or will not be fixed, please remove the show compiler
dialog check box from Lazarus so people will not get stumped on it every
time they want to see compiler progress.
Thank you,
AB
