You are right...

If you want this working in Lazarus 1.8.2 just open up procedurelist.pas (with lazarus.lpi open), goto the form (F12) and toggle something and save it again. Rebuild the Lazarus ide again and it should work.
When I change any xxx% DPI, it crashes and I have to do the above solution again.

I saw your report at bugtracker that you refer only 125% DPI.

It happens at 125% when it is designed for 100%.

It could be that if you design it @ 125% (save it) it could crash at 100% again.
Did you try it at 100% (with a saved procedurelist.lfm @ 125%)?

125% was just an example. The point is if the design time dpi is different from the runtime dpi the IDE crashes.

Yes, it could be as simple as a rounding problem. The toolbar needing to be put at a position but it can't be put there because of a rounding problem (because different designtime/runtime dpi). In that case the toolbar is not at the expected position and the loop starts over again. (Maybe, but it was hard to trace/diagnose)

I can only say that through Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display I coud see that I am on 125 % and this is indicated as default. That is, 125 % is the default.

rvk, I don't understand much of your posts, because they are far beyond the limits of my knowledge, sorry.
I only wanted to ask: what do you mean by design time dpi ?
How do you explain that it crashes also when I create a new project and I do alt-g ? Is in that case the runtime not the same as the design time ?

For me 100% is default and recommended. But that might depend on the size and resolution of your screen.

I only wanted to ask: what do you mean by design time dpi ?
With design-time I meant in which dpi setting the IDE is designed. It's the IDE that crashes on 125% dpi because it was originally designed at 100%. Most designers design at 100% because designing at another setting could cause problems when running on 100% (and it was designed on something different).

Since the IDE (and procedurelist.lfm) was designed at 100%, when displaying at 125% it needs to resize during runtime. Perhaps there is some roundoff where it can't put the toolbar correctly at the top and it gets stuck in a loop.

You can fix this quite easily yourself.
Open up ide\lazarus.lpi project.
Press Ctrl+F12 and open procedurelist.pas
Press F12 to view the form
Resize it slightly (it doesn't really matter)
Press F12 again to view the code
Choose File > Save (or Ctrl+S) to save it
Now choose Tools > Configure Builds
Choose Clean up + Build all at the top
Choose Build at the bottom
Lazarus will now recompile itself with your changed form and the ProcedureList will work

This is because you changed the procedurelist form, it is now saved with a setting of 120DPP in designtime and resizing the form work correctly now.

Of course this is a bug which still exists in trunk (development version) so it has to be corrected in the original release by someone. (hence the bug-report I submitted)

I don't think TToolButton is supposed to contain a right aligned TComboBox. It is for TToolButtons which, when they are added to the point they overflow at the right, they continue on a new line.

In Delphi a TComboBox dropped on a TToolbar also can't be aligned right.

It's already fixed.
See my previous post.
Fixed in trunk revision 57674 by Ondrej.
Fix is also targeted for Lazarus 1.8.4.
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33575

If you can't wait for 1.8.4 you can fix it yourself. (Also see my last post, the one you quoted).
