I have encountered a strange problem in Lazarus (2.0.8 on Raspbian Buster linux).
I have a fair number of source files open in tabs. The file names could be rather long too. So then the tabs displaying file names do not fit sidewise on the screen so the list of tabs is truncated left and right. If I have edited a file to the right that has brought the leftmost tab out of the visible area of the tabs I can no longer get back to the leftmost side of the editor where my main project files should live.... The leftmost VISIBLE tab is the most "leftish" file I can reach. I have noted that the left arrow "button" in the tabs section is not clickable since the mouse pointer always changes to the resize double arrow when I move to the location of the left arrow... Not even selecting the leftmost tab changes this behaviour with the left arrow button being unclickable. But if I *resize* the code editor with the mouse (and bring it back to where it was originally), THEN the left arrow button becomes clickable (turns dark)! At this time I can click it ONCE ONLY(!) to scroll the file tabs one tab over... Then I have to repeat the sequence of resize followed by clicking the arrow again. The right arrow button on the other side does not work in this strange way, it is always switching selected tab towards the right side.. Is this by design or is there a setting somewhere to disable this strange behaviour for the left arrow button? In the Delphi 2007 editor there is a down arrow to the right side which if clicked displays a list of files open in the editor and by selecting the wanted file that tab is immediately brougt into focus. Can Lazarus be configured to display such an editor file list too? If so how? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
