No, it is not, but better would be if you can test with trunk lazarus to see if it have same bug and then open an issue with detailed info.

Yes, that's normal if you're using the docked form editor.

Yes, that's normal if you're using the docked form editor.

but in this way I have no visual feedback if I for example change form caption.

maybe I am wrong, but Delphi shows the complete form, see picture.

this makes sense, in a visual environment you don't se the visual effects ????

Delphi probably draws complete form. We can do that also via themes, patches are welcome :)

You can uninstall the “docked form editor” (Menu > packages > Instal/uninstall packages > select "docked form editor" on the installed component list (left side) > Uninstall selection > Rebuild IDE); that way, IDE will still be docked, but the form editor will be a separate window.

Ok, then only title bar paint is missing, it can be painted with themes, also it's size must be taken into calculation.
