Lazarus restart problem with firefox

[skalogryz]

has removed startlazarus.app (from lazarus dir).
launched lazarus, restarted.
still no problems with switching between Lazarus and FF.

how is restart working? by launching startlazarus?

[Vincent Snijders]

Yes, with the code we changed in main.pp.

[skalogryz]

It can't effect application switching.

IndianaJones, could you launch the IDE by the following line:
(from lazarus dir)

./lazarus.app/Contents/Resources/startlazarus.app/Contents/MacOS/startlazarus

thanks

[Vincent Snijders]

IndianaJones, do you build lazarus from the command line (using make), so that startlazarus is built too, or from the IDE, so that startlazarus may not be up to date?

So I deleted and get the svn revision number 20470, compiled as follows:

make clean all

Here is the output of svn information

IndianaJones, that looks very clean.

[IndianaJones]

But very strange, I can switch to other applications but not Firefox. 

[IndianaJones]

But just one point, when I execute and do not restart, works perfect.
After restarting makes FF or Lazarus dizy. 

[skalogryz]

could you startlazarus from Terminal?

[IndianaJones]

I execute startlazarus from Terminal and here is the output.
In this situation, I cant switch to FF again but switch to others. (not doing restart)

So I upgrade to 3.5.1 and now I can switch to Lazarus.
Thanks.

Some times i can't make Opera to get the focus from System Preferences (or other Mac apps). I have Opera window maximized, but still i've got System Preference application focused (main menu bar shows SysPref name).
The only way for me to switch the front application is to click on Opera's icon in the Dock.

I wonder if it's common browsers decease to have poor focus switching?!

Without proper reproducable test, it's impossible to say, if LCL requires changes.
