subprogram declaration visible on the Source Editor window

Hi guys,

Am using Lazarus 1.8 on Mint XFCE 18.2. Just a couple of  silly
questions please:

1. On the Source editor window, whenever a subprogram occupies more
than one screen page in length, the editor provides me with the
declaration of the subprogram at the top window line. When I change
page, this declaration remains visible at the top. Have taken a look
on the tools - options - editor tab, clearly the "Show scroll hint"
does not seem the appropriate method to rid myself from this. Is there
anything else I could use for the purpose?

2. Just from pure curiosity, is there a way to bring back the good old
show compiler progress dialog just as it used to be on the Lazarus
versions of the past? Have seek for a relative setting on the project
- project options - compiler have found nothing. Anything I can do?

I understand am a bit capricious here, still I would appreciate your
help.

regards
s

1) "Show Class/Proc hint"  in Options: Editor >Display

2) AFAIK not

1) There is also under the Mouse/Completion and Hints node an Auto
Display Function Prototypes option

2) Only by going back to an earlier version of Lazarus which supported
this (0.9.x?).
The closest you can get now is checking the Show FPC message "lines
compiled" option under the  Environment/Messages Window node.

Thanks mates, both worked as a breeze.
