About "Lazarus Form System Size"...
lazarus / 7-LCL

I noted which lazarus forms are "bigger" from what delphi forms...

My comparison (image hosted in Geocities Brazil):

(http://br.geocities.com/hipernetjr/images/sizesystem.gif)

This is a problem, in some cases as in utilisation of WINAPI
In simple code as:

SetWindowPos(Self.Handle,hwnd_TopMost,0,0,Self.Width,Self.Height,0);

the form will be smaller (-8 and -27 pixels)...

I can solve with
SetWindowPos(Self.Handle,hwnd_TopMost,0,0,Self.Width+8,Self.Height+27,
0);
or
SetWindowPos(Self.Handle,hwnd_TopMost,0,0,Self.Width,Self.Height,swp_n
oSize or swp_noMove);

but my question is: This is a bug or "lazarus exclusive feature"???

A necessity.

It is impossible to determine reliably the size of the caption bar on
Linux (due to window manager differences), so the size must not take
that into account. This is why the forms are slightly bigger.

If we fix that for Windows then the same form will look differently on
Windows and Linux.

A slight difference to Delphi is preferable then having the app look
differently on the various platforms Lazarus supports.
