Using svn lazarus trunk on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 daily has been problematic.

It's pretty much crashing everywhere. From selecting forms to positioning elements. Pixbuf exceptions everywhere.

I've had issues with lazarus for a while now just waiting for some improvements to use it. I had much success with previous checkouts.

Downloading Debian from lazarus.freepascal.org and installing on 12.10 does not work either :-)

I'll file some reports but just a heads up to lazarus team that 12.10 is rapidly approaching.
