lazarus's Issues

Refresh button disabled

The refresh button is only enabled when the CanModify condition is met. But refreshing can be done at no risk even if datas are readonly.
I suggest this patch (line 200) to correct that meaningless limitation :

• Buttons[nbRefresh].Enabled:=CanModify;

• Buttons[nbRefresh].Enabled:=Enabled and FDataLink.Active and not FDataLink.Editing;

UTF8ToConsole bug

There is a problem with UTF8ToConsole on my Windows 10.

I live in Switzerland, but Windows is set to English, and chcp displays 437 as my active codepage.

The following program:

uses LazUTF8, Crt;

var
  S: String;
begin
  Writeln('Writing the name from a string literal: "Jérémie"');
    // ^ garbage 

  Writeln('Converting UTF-8 string to console (should be implicit?): "', UTF8ToConsole(S), '"');
    // ^ garbage

  Writeln('Converting UTF-8 string to Windows CodePage: "', UTF8ToWinCP(S), '"');
    // ^ TODO: works, but how to make it portable?

  ReadKey;
end.

produces the following output:

Writing the name from a string literal: "Jérémie"
Converting UTF-8 string to console (should be implicit?): "Jérémie"
Converting UTF-8 string to Windows CodePage: "Jérémie"

The strange thing is that UTF8ToConsole immediately calls UTF8ToWinCP, which (as demonstrated by the last test case, and also verified using the debugger) produces the right result. The remaining code of UTF8ToConsole however then further processes that result, so that the end result is wrong.

Issue in Designer usability - Lazarus/Linux/Gnome

How to reproduce the issue

1. Structure: Linux Ubuntu 21.04, 64 bits, with Gnome 3.38.n

2. Using fpcupdeluxe, install Lazarus+FPC trunk (v2.1.0 r64270 at the moment)

3. Still with fpcupdeluxe install the anchordocking module (which also installs sparta_dockedformeditor)

4. Run Lazarus that already starts a new project, pick some visual components from the palette for the form (in the Designer), click on one of the form's components and manually change one of its properties (for example: Width). Then, using the mouse pointer, click on one of the visual components on the form giving focus to it, then, with the mouse buttons released, move the mouse pointer. It is noticed, at this moment, that it appears that the Control key is pressed while the mouse cursor moves, as the object selection rectangle appears under the mouse cursor ... But the Control key is not pressed and no button on the mouse is pressed too

5. This issue can be somewhat sporadic, but it happens with a very large frequency causing the selection and, sometimes, changes of components that you do not want to change

6. A test was performed with manual installation of Lazarus (2.1.0), anchordocking and sparta_dockedformeditor and the issue also happened

7. When uninstalling sparta_dockedformedsitor the issue does not happen
