Lazarus Release Candidate 1 of 1.8

Who?

Last I saw mails in fpc-pascal list titled "Mantis/Bugtracker registrations fixed" by Karoly Balogh (Charlie/SGR) and Martin. Michael van Canneyt tried to fix it. Martin still got problems, maybe it is not fixed yet.

Mantis should be updated to latest version which is already 2.4.1. Unfortunately it is a lot of work as was discussed earlier.

Ahh OK, you were talking about the mantis problem and not the LCL grid problem

Btw. I cannot reproduce it. This code works just fine in trunk and 1.8 RC1:

I'm using a StringGrid, and it was created in the designer. In my case, CellRect(0, 0) returns something like 80,27 when it should return 0,0.  Once the form is visible, a call to CellRect(0,0) again returns 0,0

As always, attach an example project to compile and test.
The explanation you gave is not very useful.

Still not clear how to reproduce. The attached demo has a design-time created stringgrid, and in the FormCreate event (i.e. before the grid is shown) the coordinates of Grid.CellRect(0,0) are written to a Label. Later, when then form has been shown, you can click on the button to measure CellRect(0, 0) again, and the label does not change.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. // Use a form with a TStringGrid, a Button and a Label.
2.  
3. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
4. var
5.   R: TRect;
6. begin
7.   R := StringGrid1.CellRect(0, 0);
8.   Label1.Caption := Format('CellRect = %d, %d, %d, %d', [R.Left, R.Top, R.Right, R.Bottom]);
9. end;
10.  
11. procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
12. begin
13.   Button1Click(nil);
14. end;

Thanks - I've attached a zip file containing a simple project that illustrates this.

I fixed it in r55163. Please report to mantis the next time so that we have track of the bugs.

Thanks - looking forward to the update.

Tried today to install fpc + lazarus on Linux Mint 18.1
fpc_3.0.3-r36152_i386.deb  installed without problems.
fpc-src_3.0.3-r36152_i386.deb also installed without problems.
lazarus-project_1.8.0RC1-0_i386.deb gave this error message :

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: fpc(=3.0.3) | fp-compiler (=3.0.3)

What can I do ?  Thanks

Please create a bug report.

Just to be sure: you haven't installed any FPC version from Mint's repository, right?

Great work with a new release! A minor anomaly: After recompiling for the Anchordocking the IDE Coolbar no longer showed (as it did before compile and on the last release) and I had to fiddle quite a bit to get it back - it is a little while ago so I do not remember exactly what worked - there were a couple of re-compiles involved but I am not sure that was what made it.

Also I now notice that the new shaded area does not align with the coolbar - may be this is by design to create a shading effect? System is Win7 professional and with size is > 125%.  should add that I cleared the folders of all files before reinstall, but allowed conversions of the settings.

No, I downloaded both fpc and lazarus  .deb packages from the SourceForge repository, from this URL :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%201.8.0RC1/

This bug is still alive : http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,32863.msg212126.html#msg212126

When you resize the window you obtain ugly artifacts. You can see them in attached image.

It would be great if you could solve it.

I can confirm, even with Laz trunk (win 10/64 bit, Laz-trunk/fpc3.02/32 bit). Is there a valid bug report for it?
