Hey John,
You're more than welcome. Glad I could help!!
Hope you can now resume your testing in peace
Cheers,

Got back from shopping and it was all done and installed with an icon on the desktop. First thing I'll do is make up a short document describing exactly what I did. And since I have a Pi4 kicking around which I don't think has the fpcupdeluxe installed yet I'll verify the procedure in a simple step by step for that too.
This is the thread where I'm describing the issues with the component ported from Delphi. Works great on Lazarus Windows but turns out the issue isn't Pi or Beagle specific but Linux specific.
https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,54329.msg403858.html#msg403858The posting from April 28th shows how dragging the component moves the rectangle behind it but doesn't drag the segments. Under Windows Lazarus and Windows Delphi this is not an issue.
The problem is with changing a component with Delphi is just a matter of recompiling the component. With Lazarus the IDE has to be rebuilt. Not a big issue on the PC, probably won't be under the Debian LinuxCNC PC. But painfully slow on a Beagle or Pi. Hence the reason for this thread installing fpcupdeluxe on the Debian LinuxCNC.
I have yet to figure out how to assign the parent of a component so I can create and test it separately from the IDE. But that's for a different thread. Just rambling here.
