Destroying edit format
lazarus / 9-Editor

Hello,

I like to write my programs in a format I am used to. A form class
look like this:
Code: [Select]
Type    TForm1  = Class (TForm)
                  Private
                  Public
                  End;

If I add a visual component to a form Lazarus adds <CR><LF> after the
word    Type, adds the line { TForm1 } to it, adds <CR><LF> and shifts
the Class declaration to the left. Now it looks like this:
Code: [Select]
Type

{ TForm1 }

TForm1  = Class (TForm)
                     Button1: TButton;
                  Private
                  Public
                  End;

I edit it back but it is a lot of work to do after every putting of a
component.
I am happy with Delphi as this behavior is not present there.

Can it be switched off / disabled?

Thanks.

The IDE puts aCode: [Select]{ TForm1 } before the TForm1 declaration.
In your case it is between the type and TForm1.
I don't know if this can turned off.
Can you file a bugreport that the { TForm 1 } comment should be placed
on the line before the TForm1 declaration, and not between the type
and the declaration.
This way yuor formatting wont be touched.

Disable it
Environment -> CodeTools Options -> Code Creation -> Header Comment
for class
