Is the behaviour of the F12 key a known bug?

AFAIK, the F12 key is supposed to toggle between the pascal unit you
are editing and its form, but most of the time it appears to bring up
a different form, as though it is being applied to what seems to be
the last form you edited, or it jumps to another file and brings  up
its form instead.

Is this a known bug? It seems to be happening in the more recent
versions of Lazarus. 0.9.30 did not exhibit this problem.

Hi,

I can see the same behaviour with version 1.0.10. I though it was a
problem with having the IDE docked (AnchorDocking packages).
Editing unit1, I hit F12, nothing happens the first time, then the
second time it brings  form2 in unit2 instead of form1.

Regards,

Gerard.

I've also noticed the problem since the 0.9.x versions, here are a few
more details on what happens. When I press F12 for the first time,
what really happens is that another editor tab gets the focus; when I
press it again then it changes to the form of the unit the focus
changed to.

I usually avoid the problem by not giving any tab the focus by
clicking elsewere.

It seems the bug is already reported here:
