I'm currently under linux.
After a "make clean bigide LCL_PLATFORM=gtk2" it does show the about box no problem, but once I build the ide with my components (either from inside the ide or with "./lazbuild -B --build-ide= --widgetset=gtk2") this is what I get:

Error reading AboutForm.OnCreate: Invalid valude for property

These are the messages on the console:

TJITComponentList.AddJITComponentFromStream.ReadStream Reading: FCurReadJITComponent=:TMainForm StreamClass=TMainForm TApplication.HandleException Error reading AboutForm.OnCreate: Invalid value for property

Didn't have a problem with the previous version I checked out (16291)

Does this happen only on the about dialog or some other dialogs too?

Only wth the about dialog (that's the first one I tried just to see if lazbuild worked).

Can the newly built IDE open the ide/aboutfrm.pas and open the designer form?

Yes, it can.

BTW, I just updated to 16547 and it does the same :-(

I'm currently bisecting to find where the problem was introduced. My computer is slow though, so it could take time.

This problem was introduced in 16527
Looking at a diff between 16526 and 16257 I cannot see where the problem lies.

I removed this one (it's only a runtime package, no design-time components) and the problem went away.
I'd still like to know what could have possibly caused it.
