One bug sometime is can't resize selected control in design and
another is when I switch to another app in a taskbar and then tried
back to Lazarus:
"Size range overflow in MainIDE.SendMoveSizeMessages: Width=1366,
Height=-16."

Come on, you ought to know better by now: what version of Lazarus/FPC
built for which widget set, what display manager (AKA desktop
environment) and (to a lesser extent) what distro?

I think those are the important things. I don't specifically recognise
the problems you mention but I'm running KDE with stuff including the
IDE typically compiled for gtk2... there's a possibility you've got
some different combination or at least some different underlying
libraries.

Lazarus 2.2.0RC1-0, FPC 3.2.2, Lubuntu 20.10, LXQT 0.15.0, taskbar
with autohide option.

Maybe this is the same as what that I experience:

Presumably the IDE is built for gtk2 and also using that as the
default target.

/Might/ be worth trying with a different window manager and/or target
if you can... I've been wrestling with something (non-Lazarus) over
the last few days where an app wouldn't resize below a certain point
which turned out to be WM-specific (needless to say, neither the app
authors nor the distro maintainers admit the problem is theirs )-:

That exception was added to spot a random bug which nobody could
reproduce systematically.
Does it happen always for you?
It would help if you can get a proper debugger backtrace from it.

Are you only interested in an overflow in
MainIDE.SendMoveSizeMessages? Because I can reliably reproduce one in
AnchorDockSplitter3.
