So I recently installed Lazarus with QT5 via fpcupdeluxe on my kubuntu 24.04 machine.
On a form I used the SessionProperies to add some persistence. Then I wanted to add some properties, but I could not. I could not select 'SessionProperties' and hovering over the properties itself and clicking got me hints of the existing saved properties, but I couldn't click the elipsis, I couldn't even see it.
Widening the Object inspector window enabled me to click the elipis, but I can only widen the window so far...
But when I widened the column of the properties, so the names have more space, enabled me to select the name of SessionProperies and then click on the elipsis.
When I tried further I saw that it's impossible to select properties by clicking on their names when their name does not fit in the column. Mostly no problem because you can click on the properties themselves, only the SessionProperties gives the problem.

A bug ?

Koenraad.

You're probably under wayland, not x11 ? Try with lazarus qt6 which is more appropriate for wayland.
Also, you did not write your lazarus version and what desktop environment U use.

I'm runnung KDE (kubuntu). I have no idea if I'm running Wayland or X11. But I was running Lazarus 3.6. My fpcupdeluxe had no option for Lazarus 4.2. I added an option for Lazarus 4.2 and now I compiled Lazarus 4.2. SessionProperties is OK now.

Gosh,
I was just installing Lazarus/Fpc on my Windows11 laptop using fpcupdeluxe.

But it only gave me a selection of sub-4 versions so I asked on the fpcupdeluxe thread in the webforum. There I saw a reply that one has to *add* 4.0 to the fpcup.ini file before starting it. Then it will give you the latest (?) version option.

So now I entered these:

[ALIASlazTAG]
stable.gitlab=lazarus_4_0
4.0.gitlab=lazarus_4_0

But now that I am done I see this post where you talk about Lazarus 4.2... So that was available when I did my install unknown by me.... Is it possible (with fpcupdeluxe) to add something like this to the ini:

[ALIASlazTAG]
stable.gitlab=lazarus_4_2
4.2.gitlab=lazarus_4_2

And then command it to *upgrade* the Lazarus version installation to 4.2?

How should I go about it exactly?

Or do I have to back off and repeat today's work to install Lazarus 4.2 from scratcvh into a new main directory? And fully customize it, which took a lot of time....
