I just installed Lazarus 0.9.30 on Ubuntu 11.10 and have run into all sorts of problems.
Examples are:
Sometimes I can't switch between the source editor windows (a restart helps), instead when I click on an editor-tab a breakpoint close to the mouse cursor gets set.
I can't change editor font size
Alt-tab doesn't work as expected.
The Unity launcher gets unaccessible.
And more and more...

Is this an Ubuntu problem or a Lazarus problem? Is there any way to fix it? What is the best Linux to run Lazarus on?
I have previously used Lazarus on Suse without any problems. I have tried Mike MacDonagh's tips at
http://mikemacd.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/install-single-window-lazarus-0-9-30-in-ubuntu-11-10-step-by-step/ but it doesn't really help.
Any advice is appreciated.

Why not try the latest 1.0rc1 release?

So you're using Unity? Sounds like there are quite a lot of problems/questions already asked about it either here or in the forum...

Thanks a lot. I think
lazarus-1.1-38223-20120810 is a great
improvement. After a brief testing it seems to me
that all of my problems have disappeared.
