The choices Ubuntu maintainers make are their responsibility not ours.
Pushing wayland though user's throats, at this stage, is a very bad choice no matter how you look at it.

You still seem to be missing the point trying to put something of a blame somewhere where it doesn't belong.

That you lack the knowledge to setup cross-compilation and/or build the compiler and IDE (from source) is your responsibility. Instead of asking how to do get yourself acquainted to these things you keep deflecting by trying to push the responsibility to our developers using your choice of distribution (and their decisions) as an argument.
I truly believe that your motivation is to lift the experience to a higher level but your approach isn't working, at least not for me.

In that case use Lazarus's bug tracker, and I suggest appending a test program.

Not relevant, and you'll make yourself unpopular pushing that.

I sympathise, there's a lot of things about open source projects that leave me deeply frustrated, but you will find it far more useful to focus on laying the issue in front of the people who have some chance of fixing it.
Final questions for consideration:
* If you're using the GTK2 widget set, what happens if you switch to Qt?
* Is your system using Wayland rather than X11?
* Can you switch to X11 without major disruption?
* What happens if you use the most recent Ubuntu rather than one which is a couple of years old?

You forgot one:
* What happens if you install from Lazarus provided .debs, .rpms, or from source instead of blindly using the broken crap provided in Debian packaging?

He's already said that he's tried one from Gitlab main, which I think narrows it down considerably.
Although he's not confirmed explicitly that Ubuntu's using Wayland, I think that has to be the first suspect. But realistically, particularly if he can confirm that the most recent Ubuntu's got the same problem, I think it's an LCL/widgetset issue.
I can't say that I'm at all happy with the situation. Looking at it more generally, it might be that apps in general (i.e. not just those written using Lazarus and the LCL) will have to refrain from some of the "cleverness" they're used to which make GUIs built with Windows and X11 cleverly pretty.

He is using Wayland, but back in U22.04 it was relatively unobtrusive. Recent Gnome releases often have only two themes out of the box, dark and almost dark. Heavy black title bars and zero width borders.
Well behaved gtk2 lazarus apps use only the colors from the current theme, while theme sets typically have ten or more possible colors, in Gnome in particular, most of those colors are the same. And dark.
So, a black rectangle on a black background with zero width borders ....
Gnome is keen to 'simplify' the UI. Canonical is still pining for Unity, an OS designed for a phone, so, rich widget sets like we love in Lazarus, depending on detail, are just not catered for.
gasensor, try Mate, Budgie, Cinnamon, XFCe etc. Not only will your Widget sets look better but your negative mood may improve as well.
