@Leszek Ref. your report - unless the context/conditions are identical, it is always wise to start a new topic instead of adding your question to an existing topic. I split off this question for you, as it seems to be a different problem.

So, you copy text from outside the Delphi app, and when you paste it into your TMemo, it is LF and not CRLF? What is your TMemo.Lines.LineBreak set to? An alternative would be to intercept the paste and use https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Alexandria/en/System.SysUtils.AdjustLineBreaks

I find some of the EMBT marketing practices to be idiotic and unnecessary. They keep spamming me these offers for "upgrades" and "new licenses" with varying levels of price slashing, all year around. Don't they consider that I have been a subscriber for more than a decade, and that the offers only are valid for new licenses? The new releases and offers tend to bundle some third party tool or package that is underfunctional and overpriced, and where the license terms are a tad unclear after the year has passed. After being bought by Idera, it is often some other Idera purchased product that I have little interest in. I find the bundling practices to be inconsistant, to put it mildly. Not only do they do this directly, but the local representative also spam the same offers, over and over. According to the local representative - it is EMBT that do the spam on their behalf. Where is the reward for staying a long time paying customer? It is not like the maintenance is cheap, and it is not like I spam EMBT with support issues. As for support, I don't think I've every raised a support question apart from the annoying license counter bump requests. Ok, I am paying for new versions, updates, hotfixes, etc. - but to be honest, for many major versions now, the first xx.0 releases have of sub-par quality. We've had to wait at least for update 1, and a hotfix or two - before it was fit for use. About license management... Remember the Delphi .NET craze? It led us to purchase RAD Studio licenses to get a the new and shiny .NET stuff. That shit didn't last long, mostly due to MS not fully opening the door on third party .NET tools - but - when they were discontinued, we were still on RAD Studio Enterprise, when we really only need Delphi Enterprise. We have never used the C++ part of RAD Studio., but there is no way to downgrade a license, and it is still cheaper to keep the RAD Studio Enterprise maintenance, than to repurchase Delphi Enterprise licenses. So we stay on maintenance and keep hoping for Old problems to be fixed New platforms to be supported HighDPI to be done right Code performance to be improved RTL performance to be improved IDE to become stable and performant Debuggers that actually work in all scenarios Less immature and unfinished new libs and components Less pointless marketing offers because, warts and all, the tool is what we have become dependant on. Still hoping that it will change for the better... http://www.toodarkpark.org/computers/humor/shoot-self-in-foot.html

The maintenance part does get you the upgrades, updates, hotfixes, some GetIt stuff for a year, though. And, renewing the maintenance deal is less costly than repurchasing.

@Willicious A common challenge when updating UI components that have events of their own, is that setting values in the component, will trigger said events, which again trigger your event handlers, which then exec code that changes other UI elements. Do you take steps to ensure that you don't get a flurry of events between different parts of the UI and biz logic when you change data in the components?

I am sure I would prefer a clean installation.

Considering that Delphi runs fine under Windows for ARM in Parallells on MacOS, it is likely that it will run well on Windows for ARM without a VM layer as well.

... or change the type in the method: Add(const n: NativeInt);

Or Androids...

It is a pretty lousy Captcha, I'd say.

do not support ARM64. I also pointed out "bare bones stack trace". The two mentioned offer so much more functionality for those that need it. I wonder how many people that don't use such tools as they don't want to take the cost? But this still is a purely academical discussion. That said, they already have the code to unwind the stack in the debugger, which they need to maintain, so the step is not that huge.

Pausing the app in the debugger and inspecting each thread might also offer clues. In my experience, such hangs are typically caused by - forgetting to call an inherited method - deadlock on a resouce - loop that has exit conditions that are never met and in rare cases, slow recursions with low stack impact

Practical - as in practical for the users of their products, i.e. us.

When you find a problem with RAD Studio, make sure to create a report in https://qp.embarcadero.com/ which has replaced the former https://quality.embarcadero.com See https://blogs.embarcadero.com/the-new-quality-portal-is-live-here-are-the-details/ for clues on how to use the new reporting platform. And - please describe the problem properly! What you are trying to do The actual result you got The result you expected Most important: How to reproduce the problem - either as a detailed step by step description - or as a small, self-contained, compilable example project - or both of the above Better reports = better chance of getting stuff fixed.

Thanks, Eugene. Updated.

Well, it would be practical to have a bare bones stack trace tool for all supported platforms.

I sometimes use these where a method has been broken into sub-routines to create more readable code, but more often than not, I tend to pass arguments to these sub-routines as parameters.

Doesn't mention architecture, though - Intel vs ARM.

It is not too complex to write the classes required to handle this, and decide how to orientate rows vs columns. I did that for TMS TAdvStringGrid, where I first collect the data into a matrix (by column, then by row), then stuff the content into the grid in the orientation I prefer, automatically setting up the grid props, handling rows, cols, width sizing as well as titles, etc. The matrix can be filled from a database query, or from a list of objects, or by code. I wish I had time to do a rewrite for TStringGrid, as the lib has too much proprietary code to share as is.

You should report it. Remember to include screen resolution, DPI, scaling, etc. Also mention WHEN it crashes on drag. As soon as it is starting to appear on the second screen, or fully on second screen, or only at mouse release. I don't use split screen on a second display as I have a huge 40" display.

Quite a few sites still support RSS. Even those that don't announce their support, can have a living www.site.com/rss URL. One of the enemies of RSS, are Paywalls.
