let's try a new tip...
if the bug is cause by a IDE settings, let's try create a new user for this IDE
the RAD allow that you use many "user" in your desktop, then just use a command-line to execute this command>
... << your path where is RAD >> \bin\BDS.exe -r newusername <--- "-R" --> newusername = any name never used yet!
ex.: c:\rad11\bin\bds.exe -r HelloWorldUser
this way, will be create a new "environment" tottally fresh (none components, none addons) like the "first time" ok!
in Registry, will be stored a new key em HCU\Software\Embarcadero\... HelloWorldUser key -> you can delete or not if desire use it another times!
if ok, then, now you can create a shortcut for use it , else... let's try another tip:
all RAD store your settings in c:\users\<<windows user name>>\AppData\Roamming\Embarcadero\BDS\<<nn.nn version>>
then, do the backup and delete this folder << nn.nn version >>
run you IDE and see if help you
if nothing help, then, I think that the way is "re-install it" using a clean-install!!!
