Hi,

Just wondered if anybody else noticed this (a bit annoying) behaviour in Lazarus IDE (Trunk compiler with FPC 2.6.4 using LCL-GTK2 using Linux CentOS 6.6).

The Object Inspector window is open, but hidden behind other windows (eg: Gnome-Terminal) to the right of my Source editor window. If I'm in the Source window and press Alt+G (Goto Line Number), the Object Inspector window jumps to the font, covering the Gnome-Terminal window. Why?

I tested this and can be in any code unit, not just a unit that contains a form declaration. I just tested and the Project Inspector window does the same thing.

It doesn't do it on my FreeBSD system though - Lazarus IDE also compiled with LCL-GTK2. But in FreeBSD I'm using a window manager called JWM, whereas in Linux CentOS I'm using Gnome Desktop. I haven't tried switching CentOS to JWM to test yet - will do so later.

Regards,
- Graeme -

Okay, it seems that if I use JWM on CentOS (like I do on FreeBSD), then
the problem goes away.

So it looks like a odd behaviour with Lazarus + Gnome Desktop then.

Not with Gnome Desktop, but with Gnome default window manager. Try eg openbox instead of current default (maybe metacity).
