How to solve this problem?

With this explanation of your problem, I doubt anyone can easily understand what is happening to you. TEdit certainly has the property (not component???) named Text.

This might help:
Upload here the simple project which demonstrates this problem (zipped without binaries, read this first please).

Yep, show us the code.

Or, start a new project, drop a TEdit on the form and put this code in the Form's OnCreate event:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   Edit1.Text := 'Hello!';

If you still get the same error, I think you may need to reinstall your Lazarus.

If you still get the same error, I think you may need to reinstall your Lazarus.

Which he might need to do anyway.
i see a "dfsg" in his Lazarus-Description, which is probably from Debian/Ubuntu-Repository.

This might even be a real message (even though it says "component named TEXT").

See a similar topic here with screenshot.

This is probably an inspection, watch or debug window (hovering over Edit1.Text) where Edit1.Text isn't accessible because it's not a field but has a Getter/Setter.
So not a real error message which prevents the program from running.

Now, I remember that. Thanks rvk.

I had that problem too. My solution is simple, use a variable for getting the value of that property so we can debug and hovering the mouse pointer on that variable.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   Test := Edit1.Text;

We are doing all the same...
