I'll have a play. Both my machines are standard Ubuntu. One is 6.06 and the other is 7.04, so Gnome 
with the "Human" theme I guess. I've only noticed this in the last couple of days so I had guessed 
something had changed in Lazarus. I may try an svn revert and see what comes up.

I had already tried blowing away the ~/.lazarus directory.

And while I was typing this E-mail I re-built latest svn with the gtk2 interface rather than the gtk 
and the problem is gone. Sweet :) Not a fix, but the widgets look so much nicer I'll leave it this way!

Lazarus on SPARC/Linux

I've now got a SPARC/Linux system permanently running in front of me which 
gives me a bit more incentive to work on this. I've got FPC 2.0.4 compiled 
from source and installed without significant problem, using this Lazarus 
0.9.22 builds without significant problem (particularly with my parallel 
experience building for x86, that's largely why I did that).

Starting Lazarus again does nothing (with the exception described below) 
unexpected, everything I've tried from the menus works and the form editor 
works; using an externally-created project I'm able to compile a test which 
runs from outside the IDE.

There is however a major problem with the unit editor window in that any click 
on the client area (i.e. including the gutter but excluding the tabs and 
scrollbar) brings up an exception. Looking back through the list shows that I 
got to pretty much the same position last August, Mattias pointed me at this

-----8<-----
#0  0x00289478 in GTKAPIWIDGETCLIENT_DRAWCARET (CLIENT=0xbdbf18,
   CALLEDBYTIMER=false) at gtkwinapiwindow.pp:698

Please check if the line numbers are correct:

696:      if (WidgetStyle<>nil)
697:      and (Widget^.Window<>nil)
698:      and (Width>0)
696:      and (Height>0)

The Width is accessed some lines in front.
Maybe a compiler bug?
Add some writelns and find out what pointer exactly gives the SIGSEGV.

1) implement some functions of delphicompat unit (LCL extensions 
package) in qt. The utf-16 function (*W) should be pretty simple.  
GetBkColor, GetCurrentObject also should be simple. KillTimer and 
SetTimer can take more work. Anyway you can base on what is done in gtk. 
Others are really not necessary for basic work

2) test. i don't have a qt4 environment setup

I recomend that you try the subversion version of Lazarus then. Any
changes will be made to subversion anyway, and you won't be able to
test them if you don't use it.

I will do that, but not immediately. The position is that I had a reasonable 
degree of confidence that I could get FPC 2.0.4 working on SPARC after the 
work I did last Summer and that version- as I understand it- is known to 
compile the current version of Lazarus as released. I don't want to start 
working with both an untried version of the compiler and a new set of 
sources... tomorrow, perhaps but not today :-)

The current situation appears to be that enabling the calls to DebugLn() and 
fixing gtkwinapiwindow.pp so that they compile fixes- or at least changes- the 
problem. That suggests that it might in fact be an FPC code-generation problem.

update:

this offset happens whenever the combobox is inside a tab.  the cap
i've sent is a combobox inside a tab, which is inside another tab.
can anyone confirm?

thanks
