Hi,

I'm struggling with two issues with the Search,Symbol (Browse) function of the FreePascal IDE.

Are these known issues, or is something wrong with how I installed or configured FreePascal?

1: With duplicate names it always shows the results for the one which was declared first. Regardless of which the cursor was sitting on when triggering the feature. Example:

uses
a,b; (* both declare a procedure named 'test' *)

begin
   a.test;
   b.test;
end.

If I inspect b.test, TurboPascal shows that it comes from b, FreePascal claims it comes from a.

2: The IDE has a window "Browser Options" which allows for example to set the Preferred Pane. But all options there have no effect, the changes are not even saved.

Afaik browse hasn't been worked on in a long time.
