How to fix TCheckbox size?
lazarus / 10-Designer

I have a complex preference dialog with many controls on a TTabSheet.
Sometimes after editing controls, the CheckBoxes become small, that is
the height becomes 16 instead of the default 18 and the text goes to a
smaller font. 

Lazarus won't let me change the Height back to 18. The only fix is to
delete it and make a new one. I attached a picture.

A similar thing happened to a list box, the ItemHeight went from 20 to
14. I could change it, but when I tried to change it to 16 it went to
20, and is now locked at 20.

I am using Lazarus 1.2.2 on OS X 10.6.8.

Any suggestions or explanation of this behavior would be greatly
appreciated.

Cheers,
Frederick

I quit Lazarus and restarted my computer. The Checkboxes are back to
normal. Strange.

Scratch that - they are not fixed. 

If I cut the old one and paste it the control is fixed.

I still could use some help.

Find a lfm with the broken checkbox in it, and paste the contents here
surrounded by code tags.  There may be something useful there...

Mike,

The lfm is 2459 lines long so I won't post it, but yes indeed, I did
open it and found something useful there.  I edited the heights of the
misbehaving checkboxes back to 18, and all is good. Thanks!!

Cheers,
Frederick
