I don't see the problem with it losing the TOP and Left coord's.

Hi,
I added the replacement from Hans-Joachim Ott for the LM_GetText message.

BTW, something strange is going on with the splashscreen, for a reason I don't know yet it looses it Top and left position (resulting in +/-125251251 (or something like that).

It seems that a problem I fixed weeks ago is back again :-(

That's the reason I don't use the makefiles. make clean and/or make cleanall didn't remove all.
instead I created make_real_clean and it removes every .ppu and .o it can find.

----make_real_clean -----
#!/bin/sh
rm `find . -name '*.ppu'` `find . -name '*.o'`

The only workaround I always use is make cleanall in both lazarus and lcl dirs and do a make lazarus then.

Most of the times it works, after I cycled to a new compiler it didn't work. Compiled with an old compiler --> OK
Compiled with the latest compiler --> OK (?)

Applied changes from HJO --> with latest compiler --> NOK Make clean and compile again --> OK

I hadn't the time to look at it, but at first sight there are 2 possebilities.
1) we're dealing with an uninitialized variable which is most of the time 0 and someties something else.
2) The new compiler delivers in some occasions crappy code (the first time I compiled Lazarus, lazarus dumped on an unknown bitmap ???)

I find option 1 the most likely, but until proven otherwise I suspect the compiler as well
