I created a simple application using VirtualTreeView and it has the same problem with the scroll bar.
Why don't you upload the application (.pas, .lfm, .lpi and .lpr files only, packed to a zip; no compiler-generated files, please)? This would save GetMem the time to create such a program himself. And others could verify the issue as well. Or maybe you did something wrong and it's no issue of VTV at all (such things happen...)

Getmem, when I use the OPM to install KControls with FPC320, I get a warming its not tested.

I have been using it with FPC320 rc1 and Lazarus Trunk for a couple of months, now its FPC320 release. All the parts I use work fine, mostly only KMemo though. Is that all you need to know to mark it as 'Tested' ?

Sorry everyone for the delay.

@heejit
I fixed mormot, please test now.

@Davo
Warning removed for KControls(fpc320).

@RDL
I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Can you please attach a sample application. Also which version of Lazarus/FPC/QT do you use?

@all
I don't want to hijack the following thread: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,13786.75.html, so I will respond here.
Inspired by the discussion, I did try to update Internet Tools without success. Internet tools depends on flre(https://github.com/BeRo1985/flre), however flre does not contain any package, the source files must be added as a relative path. After a few trial and error I managed to compile Internet Tools, however the demos does not work, maybe I'm doing something wrong, any suggestions is appreciated.
In my opinion a package should be self-contained, it can depend on other packages, but any other manual adjustment is an overkill.

Thank you, I bookmarked that page for future reference. I'm glad the package from OPM is still usable.
However, as I mentioned in my previous post, a package should be self-contained, adding paths to the project is an overkill in my opinion.

Hi GetMem,

Sorry everyone for the delay.
I hope you were able to enjoy your vacation, especially in these days of social distancing.

Thank you for taking notice of my post.

I have to correct myself first with regards to that post. There is nothing wrong with OPM itself. It is about the packages it uses/provides.

Issue 1: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,34297.msg363013.html#msg363013
Issue 2: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,50287.0.html and https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,50293.0.html
Issue 3: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,13786.msg367368.html#msg367368

And i got myself into issues with synapse as well somewhere along the line.

Instead of beating the dead horse, would it be possible for the packages to explicitly mention that the source of the package does not have anything to do with the sources that the package currently links to, and that original author/project has nothing to do with those ?

Preferably packages that are based on other projects that are either abandoned or included/provided (and sometimes adjusted) without any knowledge of original author should be hosted somewhere else so that issues could be addressed in a more proper way.

Can You add https://github.com/risoflora/brookfreepascal ?
This is brook framework with many plugins. New brookframework works via sagui lib but brookfreepascal works as a solid app.

Hi everybody, I make a fix for TVirtualTree and I want send the patch (or make a pull request). The git repo https://github.com/blikblum/VirtualTreeView-Lazarus/tree/lazarus-master is the main source repo of this library? I downloaded and modified VST V5 from OPM, and I wanted to make a pull request, but after a source compare, I found too many diffs.

There is already a Brookframework in OPM. What is the difference between the two?

I believe there is a separate branch for the V5 series: https://github.com/blikblum/VirtualTreeView-Lazarus/tree/lazarus-v5
If your patch is applied, please let me know, so I can update VTV in OPM.

@TRon

Thanks for the feedback.

Approximately 50% of the packages are abandoned. Unfortunately with each new FPC/Lazarus version there is a high chance that a particular package won't compile anymore, fixing them it's not trivial either.
Another 20% of the packages are maintained, but the author shows no interest in publishing the package via OPM, which is perfectly fine. In this particular case, I update the packages from time to time. Since there are many package, the update becomes an increasingly frustrating activity.
Finally 30% of the packages are maintained and the authors actively publish the package via OPM. In this particular case we could do some improvement by creating a platform where the maintainers can login and update the packages without my intervention. Unfortunately I have no time to create the platform.

I'm not against it, but somebody has to go through 180 packages, find out which one is no longer maintained then hoste somewhere else. After a patch is created I have to  import it back to OPM.
