Lazarus 1.02, Source editor text always begin some colums to the
left...

Tested with Vista 32 bit and XP 64 bit. Works fine.
This is related to the order of Handle creation and events fired. So
it may be win 7 specific. (Maybe Vista 2, I have aero disabled. Will
try that later).

In order to reproduce, one needs the caret to be close to the right
edge of the editor, when it is closed. If the caret is all to the
left, the issue should not happen.
In order to save the caret pos, one must ensuru the session is saved
(e.g. change between tabs)

----------------
To be sure: From your description I assume, you did run 1.0 on the
same machine before? And it did not happen then?

Can you test with 1.0 again? (making sure the caret is close to the
right edge (and will still be there after restart).

In any case please report as a bug.

I just re-watched the video.
It is not the event order thingy.

Look at the status bar. The caret is at line 12 column **112**

If the Editor opens, it scrolls to bring the caret in the visible
area. (Though I did not actually see the caret in the video, is that
the video or is it really not there?)

Maybe you saved the project with a session for this caret pos?

Created a new project and now it runs as expected...

Thanks very much.

Cheers,

If it happens in any other project, just place the caret to a better
place. Then switch between tabs, or edit the file: that will mark the
session as modified. Save the project (or close it) That will save the
session, and the caret will be remembered at the new location.
