Hi,
Got Lazarus 1.0 up and running on Kubuntu 12.04 with QT widget set,
but I am seeing some odd issues the editor.
Using latest qt4pas bindings.

1. code that access a record pointer does not work with code
completion, for example data^.  raises a error when you hit the .  (in
windows right now and can't remember exact error)
2. selecting text causes a wave like effect on the selected text where
the chars move to the right as you select the text.
3. The caret in the editor is off by a space, for instance mytest.test
looks like this mytest .test

I don't think the caret (^) is a problem now.
There is a font related problem with QT + Linux with some fonts and
some computers.
The vertical positions are shifted and your edit commands go to a
wrong place.

Zeljan saw it in my mini-laptop when we met. It does not happen in my
table machine.
It starts to work after changing to a mono-spaced font and maybe
increasing its size.

Juha

Just like what Juha said, it doesn't happen here after I change the
font to something monospace with proper size. The record pointer
problem never happens to me.

Thanks for the tip on the font, I will try changing it, maybe the
record point thing is related because of the spacing issue with the
font.

I will change the font after I get home and report back.

well, I tried a bunch of different mono spaced fonts and changed the
size from 10 to 12 and from 10 to 8 and nothing helped.
It still does the wave like effect and the spacing is off at the caret

ok, I take it back, I looked at the fonts KDE was using and it was
using just the plain old monospace, so I set the Lazarus editor to use
the same font and size and all the issues went away.
