Default section of methods in IDE Options->Code Tools->Class
Completion broken?
lazarus / 11-Options

The setting "IDE Options->Code Tools->Class Completion->Default
section of methods" does not seem to have an effect for me. If I use
for example protected and complete the following code it will still
create a private section.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i type  
TTestClass = class  //you get this on completion  //private  //
 FTest: Integer;  //  procedure SetTest( AValue: Integer );  public  
property Test: Integer read FTest write SetTest; // <- Ctrl + Shift +
C here  end; I know it says "methods" not fields but it does not work
for either of them for me. Can anyone confirm this?
Lazarus Version 1.8.2

Confirmed on Lazarus trunk svn 58089.

And for both, properties you write on the public section, and methods
you write in the implementation section.

Edit: but it works fine for 'OnShow' and that kind of methods created
with the Object Inspector. Maybe you can fill a feature request?

The property handlers are not handled with this settings and AFAIK
this is wanted.

Not for public, but published.

Oh I didn't know you can use code completion for creating methods.
That makes a lot of things easier.
However from the object inspector (Double clicking a method) it does
not work with the section which makes no sense to me.

 Why is this wanted? Wouldn't it make sense to have one setting for
both properties and methods (including getters and setters of
properties) or at least two (Which I don't see any point in, but maybe
someone else does).

Do you mean if I replace the public with published in the above sample
it works for you? For me it doesn't!

You may want to create property handlers in a different section than
event handlers. But maybe I am wrong and this can really be handled
with just one settings.

Feel free to improve this. Lazarus is a community project after all.
