Lazarus trunk at about 47318 is OK with FPC 2.7.1 29398 on SPARC using

Same combination on a PPC Mac raises an exception as below when the IDE
is told to Tools -> Options.

TApplication.HandleException Error reading
ComponentsListView.Items.LazData: Stream read error
    Stack trace:
    $10118410  TREADER__READPROPERTY,  line 1279 of
/usr/local/src/fpc/fpc-trunk/rtl/objpas/classes/reader.inc

Apart from that and the blank toolbar issue it appears OK. Does anybody
want me to get a backtrace and raise a bug?

TListItems.ReadLazData reads a TLazItemInfo, which is a record:

   TLazItemInfo = record // packing is not needed and not wanted
     ImageIndex: Integer;
     StateIndex: Integer;
     OverlayIndex: Integer;
     SubItemCount: Integer;
   end;

Without "packed" the layout depends on the platform. But the stream
should be streamed the same on all platforms. So it needs "packed".
OTOH someone added a comment that it is not wanted.

Has someone an idea why "packed" is "is not needed and not wanted"?

Annotate that unit and see who wrote that ?
