There is currently a spelling discrepancy which probably needs to be rectified in that the OI Favorites page is spelt in the US way, as is the popup context menu text that refers to it. Whereas the dialog caption and interior label of the "Add to favourite properties" dialog (and associated source code) all use the British spelling of favourite.

I also wonder if the default setting whereby the OI statusbar is always shown is the best option. I have never found the OI statusbar gives essential information, but perhaps I have simply not paid attention to it at the right moment, or perhaps there are plans to expand its usefulness. It would be more helpful to beginners, I think, if the OI InfoBox were shown by default in preference to the statusbar. Although a statusbar provides a useful sizing grip, the OI can also be resized without it, and turning it off allows one more property to be displayed in the grid without the need to scroll.

It's a cross-language feature. The Lazarus project doesn't discriminate. ;-)

;)

No, for consistency it should be American spelling. I fixed it.
