[Mike.Cornflake]

Many thanks for this.    You guys don't stand still do you? 

SourceForge thinks 1.2.2 is still the latest (I'm on Win 7/64bit).  I had to navigate to the 1.2.4 folder to download.

I have downloaded it, it runs fine, except that it contains the same problem with Ubuntu, forms can't be resized at design time, this has been introduced in Lazarus version 1.2.2

Have you got a bug report for that?

[photor]

congrats!

[motaz]

Have you got a bug report for that?

no, because I haven't the latest trunk version
should I report it anyway?

[BigChimp]

Sure, it's nice if you can also test if the behaviour still occurs on trunk but it's not required.
Thanks a lot.
