Hi all,

Again, my source code editor has gone away. Does anyone get this
annoying problem ?
I can't not work anymore at all. I just can see forms, object
inspectors, and so on. But I am unable to see my sources. This is the
4th time I get this stupid bug. Each time, it has came back without
explication. This time, nothing to do: reboot, deactivate
mac spaces, remove additionnal screen....

Please help,
Thanks,
André.

Mac OS X
Lazarus 0.9.29
FPC 2.4.0
SVN:24456

I never had this, but...

Is it listed in the Windows menu? (Even if selecting it there, maybe
does not help?)

Check your enviromentoptions.xml
Code: [Select]      <SourceNotebook>
        <Caption Value="Source Editor"/>
        <WindowPlacement Value="RestoreWindowGeometry"/>
        <CustomPosition Left="750" Top="-7" Width="915" Height="997"/>
        <WindowState Value="Normal"/>
      </SourceNotebook>

Maybe left/top are not in the visible area?

If nothing helps:
- Try removing the enviromentoption.xml
- try removing all the config xml files (one by one, until you find
the bad one)

- If you use any docking extension... Well maybe that is the cause =>
recompile Lazarus without the docking extension

The editor is listed in the Lazarus menu. If I select it, nothing
happens.
If I use F3 to see all windows, editor doesn't appear.
The only enviromentoptions.xml I can find is located here:
/Developer/lazarus/tools/install/macosx, it was last modified in 2008,
it doesn't contains any options relative to editor position:
Code: [Select]<?xml version="1.0"?>
<CONFIG>
  <EnvironmentOptions>
    <Version Value="106"/>
    <LazarusDirectory Value="/Developer/lazarus/">
      <History Count="1">
        <Item1 Value="/Developer/lazarus/"/>
      </History>
    </LazarusDirectory>
    <CompilerFilename Value="/usr/local/bin/ppc386">
      <History Count="3">
        <Item1 Value="/usr/local/bin/ppc386"/>
        <Item2 Value="/usr/bin/ppc386"/>
        <Item3 Value="/opt/fpc/ppc386"/>
      </History>
    </CompilerFilename>
    <FPCSourceDirectory Value="/usr/local/share/fpcsrc/">
      <History Count="1">
        <Item1 Value="/usr/local/share/fpcsrc/"/>
      </History>
    </FPCSourceDirectory>
    <MakeFilename>
      <History Count="1">
        <Item1 Value="/usr/bin/make"/>
      </History>
    </MakeFilename>
    <TestBuildDirectory Value="/tmp/">
      <History Count="2">
        <Item1 Value="/tmp/"/>
        <Item2 Value="/var/tmp/"/>
      </History>
    </TestBuildDirectory>
    <Debugger Class="TGDBMIDebugger"/>
    <DebuggerFilename Value="/usr/bin/gdb"/>
  </EnvironmentOptions>
</CONFIG>

I can't find any file containing this kind of options:
Code: [Select]<SourceNotebook>
        <Caption Value="Source Editor"/>
        <WindowPlacement Value="RestoreWindowGeometry"/>
        <CustomPosition Left="750" Top="-7" Width="915" Height="997"/>
        <WindowState Value="Normal"/>
      </SourceNotebook>
However I think the editor is indeed out of the visible area because
if I double clic on an object in a form, the focus seems to be put on
another windows : I suppose that's the editor windows. But I still
can't see it.

Where can I find Lazarus options xml files on Mac ????

Is there any Mac Keyboard shortcut allowing to move a windows without
mouse ? It does exist on windows and it is useful in this case.

At last, I don't have any dock extension.

thanks,
André.
