Hi, say you have a TPopupMenu called 'popupmenu1' and it has MenuItem1
and MenuItem2.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i popuomenu1-
menuitem1- menuitem2
You use the Object Inspector to search for 'popupmenu1' (the filter
edit box), then is displayed alone without MenuItem1 and MenuItem2 in
the object inspector.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i popupmenu1
When you double click on 'popupmenu1' the menu editor appears.

When you click on an item in the menu editor, it vanishes all the
items inside!

Hi,
I tried to reproduce the popup menu problem (at Win7/64, Lazarus
1.8.0, FPC 3.0.4) and I confirm that such behaviour exists.

It is no problem for Lazarus usability or stability. In the future
changing focus from designer window/tabsheet back to object inspector
(with previously set some filter expression) should, at first, check
if filter condition is met (now object inspector enables access to
menu items which do not meet filter condition).

For now, use the filter editor in object inspector only when you have
tens of components with similar names just to find a proper one and
then clear the filter.

Ok, I will do that, until get's fixed. I will open a bug report later.

I've written in the report that the error is no longer reproducible
and suggest closing it.
