I remember there was even a bug report, maybe from you. I did not understand then what the problem really was and I still don't understand. Either the designer form or the source editor is active depending on which one you clicked last. You can press F12 to change the order, too. I remember there was some difference in Z-order with GTK2 bindings when creating a new form. So, in the worst case scenario you must press F12 _once_ after creating a new form! This is a non-issue IMO. There are ~1500 open issues in Lazarus bug tracker, most of them real bugs or feature requests. This one is just non-sense. Yet, if you create code to change the Z-order behavior, I promise to apply your patch. However, if you create yet another option to the Options dialog, I would reject it. There are so many options already that finding the useful ones is difficult. No need to pollute the dialog with non-sense options. I am planning to simplify the compiler options and improve the build mode options, when I have time for it.
