StringGrid : can't select 2nd cell with mouse when first one is cbsEllipsis

[tintinux]

Hi

In Lazarus 1.2.0, it looks like the default value of property goSelectionActive of TStringGrid (or ancestor) has been changed from true to false.

I have never set this property to any value, and after upgrade from 1.0.14 to 1.2 and recompile, this change the behaviour of grids.
It appear as a bug, since clicking cells with the mouse is no more visible.

Isn't it better to revert this change in a next release, and go on setting this property to true by default ?

I can file a bug if this is confirmed.

Please, submit a bug report and attach a sample project that works in Lazarus 1.0.14 but doesn't work in Lazarus 1.2

Ok, I reproduced and file the bug.

It has nothing to do with goSelectionActive as I thought at first.

For me, it should be qualified as 'major'.

I cannot reproduce the bug neither in Windows 7 nor in Ubuntu 12.04, neither with Laz trunk nor with Laz 1.0.14 (both with fpc 2.6.2).

You should remove the reference to the package gestinux_util from the project, and the GGrid from the uses clause of form1. Since I don't have them, I removed them - maybe that's the reason why it's working with me?

Now I installed Laz 1.2 and can confirm your issue.

Just saw in the svn messages that a related issue for DBGrid has been resolved a few weeks ago (http://mantis.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25824)

I have uploaded the test program in the bugtracker, to remove useless dependances.
Why can't I delete the first one,  since I have uploaded it myself ?

The bug can be reproduced on Linux also.

Because you don't have permissions to delete files in the bugtracker I think. I deleted it for you.
