"Liste der überwachten Ausdrücke" shows the wrong error message "<Error: Type TSTRINGLIST has no component named COUNT.>"

OS: Win 10 (64), Lazarus 1.8.4, SVN Revision 57972. Steps to reproduce:
Insert this in an unit and let your program call it.

procedure TForm1.TestProcedure;
var Liste: TStringList;
begin
   Liste:= TStringList.Create;
   Liste.Add('Eins');
   Liste.Free
end;

Set a breakpoint at "Liste.Add('Eins')" and insert "Liste.count" into the "Liste der überwachten Ausdrücke" (Strg+Alt+W). Run the program. It stops at the breakpoint and the Liste der überwachten Ausdrücke shows this wrong error message.

This can currently not be fixed.

Currently neither dwarf-2, nor stabs allow the compiler to tell the debugger about properties.
So for the debugger properties do not exist, hence the error.

For the specific case, try (IIRC):
List.flist.fcount

Martin, thank you for this important info. For debugging purposes, we are now going to load an intermediate variable with the result of Liste.count.
