Is this considered a Bug?  If so, who wants to file the report?
It must be specific to MacOS somehow. Can you please verify that it happens only on MacOS. Does widgetset (Carbon / Cocoa) make a difference?

I only have access to MacOS Catalina so Carbon will not run on my machine.

I can confirm that the issue does not occur with FreebSD 12.1, FPC 3.3.1 snapshot from June 2019 and Lazarus 2.0.6 or 2.1.0 (trunk) using the GTK2 widget set.

[EDIT]
Lazarus v2.1.0 r61574 with GTK2 widget set, FPC v3.0.4, Ubuntu 18.04 is also OK.

Yes I believe it is a bug as many people can reproduce it in MacOS. I wonder what makes it OS or Widgetset dependent. I don't have a Mac and cannot test myself.
Please report in bug tracker with all details.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

Verified it did not happen with Lazarus compiled with 32 bit Carbon, but does happen with Lazarus compiled with 64 bit Cocoa (tested on macOS 10.11.6).

This is fixed now. :)
It was a clear error of memory access caused by wrong typecasts. It was not specific to OS or Widgetset but it caused more trouble in some systems as memory bugs often do.
It is good for code to be tested in many systems. More bugs are revealed.
Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.
