create a submenu

[antares]

I get an error when I am trying to create a submenu in the Menu component editor. Lazarus reports a "Division by zero" error, and then when I click OK it shuts down.

This is the output generated in the Dos trace window:

TMainIDE.OnPropHookComponentAdded END Menuitem2:TMENUITEM TRUE
ERROR in LCL: TWinControl.CreateComponent: SubMenuArrow_0:TARROW Handle creation failed
Creating gdb catchable error:
TApplication.HandleException Division by zero

What is your OS? What version of lazarus are you using.

This looks like bug 162 or 201, which have been fixed.

Yes, I think the bug is fixed, I have encountered this bug, but it works fine now. At least with the latest CVS files, and on win32.

Unfortunately it's not fixed on the Linux version. On my system, Lazarus immediately disappears from the screen with no error messages when I try to add a second item to a menu. So at the moment, I can't use menus at all (unless I construct them in code of course).

Sorry, that was from me.

Eric,

Can you start lazarus in a console and give the last lines of your output?
Please, tell what you did, because I can't reproduce it on Redhat 8.0, latest Lazarus CVS update, FPC 1.9.3.

I've just done that, and now I'm getting some understanding of the problem. If I start Lazarus from a console, the menu editor seems to work with no problems. But when I start it in my normal way, from an icon on my KDE panel, the menu editor is unusable. I can reconfigure the desktop launch icon to run the application in a console, and when I do this the menu editor again seems to work with no problems.

So it seems that the menu editor crashes Lazarus if there is no console to write to.

At least I have a solution now, so thank you.
