Strange ObjectInspector behavior
lazarus / 10-Designer

I’m having a problem with the Object Inspector in Lazarus 0.9.28.2/FPC
2.2.4.

When I attempt to enter a value into one of the properties, as soon as
I enter a letter associated with a different property the cursor jumps
to that property and continues the entry from there.

Example: A TIBconnection for a Firebird database.  If I attempt to
enter, for example, a User ID of “FBDBuser”, as soon as I type the
letter “D” the cursor jumps to the Database Name property.  I end up
with a user ID of “FB” and a Database Name of “Buser”, neither of
which are correct.

What is going on, and how can I change this so that I can enter
correct values?

IIRC you can press <TAB> to invert this behaviour.

Your recollection is correct: Using <TAB> does cure the behavior. 
Very strange, though, to have to do this.

Oh, well, another Lazarus quirk learned...
