[Fixed] Laz 2.2 ParentColor issue for new labels

[Muso]

I have an issue with the default settings of labels:

- add a new group box (or radio/check group) to a form

result: the property "ParentColor " is at "False".

The IDE tells me:
"ParentColor determines if the control should use the Color from the Parent control, when enabled. The default value is True."
So that means that the default setting for new labels for ParentColor is not the actual default, or the IDE info is wrong.

I am using Lazarus 2.3.0 r65474 FPC 3.2.2 x86_64-win64-win32/win64 but that means the issue is also in Laz 2.2.

Should I open a bug report?

You're seeing the topic description from the ancestor class. There are some properties that get republished with changed default values, like: AutoSize, Color, ParentColor, TabStop, BorderStyle, etc. They are still linked to the inherited topic.

They're being addressed, and will be fixed in trunk soon. They will be in the next release candidate if the changes make merge window.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Many thanks. This commit is huge.
