Alt-G does not work any more
« on: April 05, 2018, 11:33:24 am »
Recently I have installed Lazarus 1.8.2 on my new Computer. It is the first time that I install Lazarus on this Computer.
I have copied my projects, developed with old Lazarus versions (I guess it was Lazarus 1.6.0) on my old Computer, to the new one, to carry them on.
Everything looks ok, but when I press Alt-g or I call List Procedures from the menu, I get the following message:

TControl.InvalidatePreferresSize loop detected TB:TToolBar Bounds=|=0,t=0,r=1188,b=32.

Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption.
Press Abort to kill the program

Then I select "Abort". Lazarus is closed and I get the following message:

Access Violation
Access Violation

Is that maybe a bug in Lazarus 1.8.2 ?

OS ?

Did you add any package to the IDE?

It works fine for me on Windows Vista (still...)

Martin_fr,
thank you very much for your help.

I have Windows 7.
I didn't add any package to the IDE.

What happens if you do the same in a new empty project?
If that works open up your other project (in which alt+g failed) and try to strip code until it works.

It could be related to the following bug:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=32951

If it's your config you can go to %localappdata%\lazarus (in your explorer) and look in envronmentoptions.xml.
What is the value of Width and Height of <Name Value="TProcedureListForm"/> ?

You could try renaming that file and restarting lazarus to get a fresh clean version.

If I open a new project and I do Alt-G as first action after having opened the project, I immediately get the over-mentioned error.

Please refer to what the values are mentioned earlier...

If it's your config you can go to %localappdata%\lazarus (in your explorer) and look in envronmentoptions.xml.
What is the value of Width and Height of <Name Value="TProcedureListForm"/> ?

You could try renaming that file and restarting lazarus to get a fresh clean version.

If you rename envronmentoptions.xml, does it work after that?
If so, you can rename it back and post the original envronmentoptions.xml here.

Those values worked for me fine. Maybe it depends on the resolution of your screen 1920x1080 for me.

What worked for you now? Renaming the file?
Maybe just deleting that section mentioning those values (or adjusting those values) is sufficient.

Could you try removing the <dialog></dialog> tags containing the TProcedureListForm values.
Does that help.

If it helps we need to know the values and the resolution of your screen.
Did you happen to maximize that screen?
You're not using the docking-packages by any chance, are you?

In my environmentoptions file I don't have that entry (<Name Value="TProcedureListForm"/>) at all.
I renamed environmentoptions to environmentoptionsOLD, then I opened Lazarus again, but ALT-g still doesn't work and Lazarus doesn't create a new environmentoptions file.

Here is the content of my environmentoptions file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CONFIG>
  <EnvironmentOptions>
    <Version Value="110" Lazarus="1.8.2"/>
    <LazarusDirectory Value="C:\lazarus">
    </LazarusDirectory>
    <CompilerFilename Value="$Lazarusdir\fpc\3.0.4\bin\x86_64-win64\\fpc.exe">
    </CompilerFilename>
    <FPCSourceDirectory Value="$(LazarusDir)fpc\$(FPCVer)\source">
    </FPCSourceDirectory>
    <MakeFilename Value="$Lazarusdir\fpc\3.0.4\bin\x86_64-win64\\make.exe">
    </MakeFilename>
    <TestBuildDirectory Value="C:\Users\A.Conti\AppData\Local\Temp\">
    </TestBuildDirectory>
    <Debugger Class="TGDBMIDebugger"/>
  </EnvironmentOptions>
</CONFIG>


Thank you rvk for your time.

In that case you might have installed Lazarus 1.8.2 with the option to put the configuration files somewhere else.
(because Laz should always recreate that file)

Check the C:\Lazarus\lazarus.cfg for any option as to where your configuration files are located.
