@Handoko. I got this problem at least one year ago, when just playing a Hello World with the then current version.
@Fred : In this case, the problem occurs very frequently. I have been able to build the attached sample at the firs trial.
@Thaddy : No, I am using a Swiss French QWERTZ keyboard, without the uppercase accented A. And I repeat : I am a very good typer. We could do a race if you like it...
@mercuryho : I have attached a PDF showing the Lazarus problem, the Emacs view on the source and the Hex decoding.
@engkin : I know
To be short, I know what I type, I know my system, I know a lot... But I don't know how a keystroke on the space bar becomes a strange unicode codification, sometimes. That is the point. Not what, but why and how.
I was thinking about a helping mechanism in the Lazarus editor that may in some circumstances add or modify a character ? In my far past, I remember such a problem in MMS, a source code management system running under VMS - VAX/AXP/... systems. In this case also we had one strange character appearing randomly in the "make file", we never identify the why... But VMS is far away today !
Notice, once more, I am in a VM running in Parallels, this may have an impact, I don't know.
I will try to setup another VM running in VirtualBox and compare it, who knows ?
Thanks to all, anyway.
