Using the Lazarus IDE recently quite heavily simply as a well-featured text editor I get occasional Access Violation errors when invoking the Search and Replace dialog (whether via the menu, or via Ctrl-R).

Any hints about how I can run the IDE so that it logs enough information about the error that I could figure out how to reproduce it reliably, and submit a bug report?

1) Compile the whole IDE with -gl

2) Pick one...
2.1) Run the ide from the console, and pipe the output to a text file.
2.2) Run the ide via gdb and request a backtrace after the crash

Cheers,
