Hi,

I moved this Lazarus related thread here from FPC-devel list.

Yes, the problem was elsewhere.
The tool tries to find the source file in project directory, "lazarus/ide" in this case, but the problematic file was in "lazarus/converter" directory. When I created a similar problem in a file in ide directory, it worked as expected.

There seems to be again a difference between GTK2 and QT bindings behavior for combobox. I don't know which one is more correct though. QT version seems to select the item pointed by ItemIndex, GTK2 version does not.
Now it is worse than before because you set a wrong ItemIndex (I guess, didn't look at code). "Project" is the second item so ItemIndex should be 1 but it is apparently 0 instead and "Lazarus IDE" gets selected without touching anything. That is for QT version.
GTK2 version also shows "Lazarus IDE" hilighted when opening the list but doesn't select it unless you press enter.

Right, thanks, now I understood the logic.
'with packages' is selected by default (which is good) and it always found FCL functions.

Fixed.

I use
ScopeComboBox.Items.IndexOf

maybe IndexOf is buggy under qt? (I can't test qt at the moment)

My gtk2 theme does not show anything hilighted. I tried some others: none does.
What gtk2 theme do you use?

Hi,

I use ScopeComboBox.Items.IndexOf maybe IndexOf is buggy under qt? (I can't test qt at the moment)

I debugged the code and found the problem.

SetScopeToCurUnitOwner is called before FillScopeComboBox. Thus the list is empty when first setting ScopeComboBox.Text and ItemIndex is not set.

Later FillScopeComboBox fills the list.
There ScopeComboBox.Text returns the first item 'Lazarus IDE'. Somehow it got confused from setting a text not in the list.

The fix is to call FillScopeComboBox before setting the text. Other fix is to make a condition for filling the list in FillScopeComboBox. It seems to get called "all the time" from an event handler but filling the list once is enough.

The code still looks little suspicious. FillScopeComboBox uses const ProjectDescription for the second item.
Then SetScopeToCurUnitOwner calls GetScopeToCurUnitOwner for the same thing. It happens to return the same string but what happens if it returns something else? Maybe it works OK, I didn't study the code further.

I fixed the code in 23824. Please check.

BTW, many developers have complained about debug support in Lazarus. In fact I am quite happy with it. Breakpoints work perfectly and I can inspect most of the variables. Only property values (like List.Count) are not available which is a pitty. Also function result of type string sometimes shows garbage.
I can see the call history and browse it and I can step code line by line after a breakpoint. I couldn't do those things with DebugLn() calls which are ugly anyway and add noise to the code and slow it down also when not debugging.
Actually I have removed DebugLn() calls from the converter code I am working on.

Hi,

My gtk2 theme does not show anything hilighted. I tried some others: none does. What gtk2 theme do you use?

GTK2 style is ClearLooks here. I can set it under KDE settings. Strange difference between our GTKs.

Anyway, the problem was not widget binding related this time. Both GTK2 and QT versions had logically the same problem although GTK2 version didn't select the item automatically.
