Lazarus error message at startup: Anchor not found
« on: August 17, 2026, 03:32:24 pm »
Hi,

I tried to dock the Project Inspector. That doesn't seem to be possible, but after trying, Lazarus won't start anymore. See the screenshot. It makes no difference whether I click Abort or OK, Lazarus refuses to launch.
Can I manually edit one of the configuration XML files to remove the Project Inspector references?

(Lazarus 4.99 from a few days ago with fpc32fixes on Ubuntu)

Darn it—I spent "ages"  searching, then went ahead and made a forum post, and sure enough, I found it right after that...

The file
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. codeexploreroptions.xml
contained this line:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. <Anchors Left="AnchorDockSite10" Top="AnchorDockSite10" Bottom="AnchorDockSite10"/>

I removed that line, and now Lazarus starts up again and everything seems to be working fine.
