Cannot find unit file

[kjteng]

I might have accidentally changed some setting without knowing it and now I cannot open file at cursor anymore (everything was ok yesterday).   See attached.
Please help.

Try Menu->Options->Re-scan fpc directory?

Maybe reinstall the Lazarus and FPC can fix the problem.

reinstall version 1.8.0  ... problem still exists.
reinstall version 1.6.4  ... does not have this problem.
Is it a bug in the latest version?

[Handoko]

No, at least on Linux. I use Lazarus 1.8.0 FPC 3.0.4, no such problem so far.

Your 1.8.0/3.0.4 may have some leftovers (files or settings). You maybe need to perform a clean installation. If you're Ubuntu users, here is how to do the cleaning up (section step #1):

He is using Windows, Handoko....
But anyway I can't reproduce this on Windows either.
The default installs for both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows work.

Try using fpcupdeluxe.

Try a CLEAN install with separate config directory.
I always choose "secondary installation" during install.
At the question where the configuration should be stored I choose C:\Lazarus\config (where C:\Lazarus is the directory you choose to install).
That way you have a "real" clean install without the problems of old configuration files.

I guess I have found the toot of my problem ...

In the earlier version, we can
(i) select (highlight) the unit name and then click ''open file at cursor" (or press control enter) to open the file; or
(ii) place the cursor on the unit name (not selecting the whole word) and click open file at cursor.

In version 1.8.0 (Windows platform), only method (ii) will work.  Can any of you confirm this ? 

Thanks & regards.

Ctrl + Enter still works for me on Lazarus 1.8 (and also in trunk).
Although I always use the third method (iii) Putting the cursor on the filename and pressing Alt + Arrow up.

I use the Alt+Arrow up and Ctrl+Shift+Arrow down a lot for jumping through the source.

Edit: Ah, I see the problem. You HIGHLIGHT the filename. That's not needed. But you are correct. That "was" a bug because in trunk it works again.

Thanks. That clears my doubt.

I like the simple CONTROL+LEFTMOUSE_CLICK over item.
