That's the problem when talking to non native speakers. They might use words that in their mind mean something very different than in yours. I've definitely been there and done that.

Other companies (e.g. Steema (TeeChart)) have offered me remote assistance via TeamViewer (their choice, not mine) with a compilation / installation problem. Embarcadero could do something similar at least for customers with subscription and "Platinum support" to track down this annoying problem. We do not have Platinum support, but if we had and could reproduce this problem reliably, I would insist on something like this. Embarcadero is always bragging that they have some large enterprise customers. Customers like this should be able to pressure them to get their act together.

Oddly enough code completion stopped working for me on a large project in Delphi 10.2 while it works fine in Delphi 2007 and Delphi 12.2 and now 12.3. So it depends on the project in question.

I was just looking at the source code of the plugin and could not figure out where and how it preserves the bookmarks and breakpoints. Could you please give me a hint?

You can continue using the 32 bit IDE to compile and debug 64 bit applications.

Edit: Fixed the problem with the full screen window in revision #4468.

With my particular monitor setup, the Desktop feature of the Delphi 11 and 12 IDE does not work correctly. The Startup Desktop is not restored as I saved it, on my high def monitor on the left hand side, but instead covers both monitors with huge window. I reported this problem to Embarcadero ages ago. The problem still exists in the recently released Delphi 12.3 (where I reported it again during the beta test phase). As I plan to switch to Delphi 12 in the medium future, I have now invested some more hours and added a workaround to GExperts that fixes the problem for me. It's in the current source code (revision #4466) in unit GX_ReselectDesktop, in case anybody is interested. I hope it does not break other people's installations. https://blog.dummzeuch.de/2025/03/16/gexperts-now-fixes-yet-another-annoyance-in-the-delphi-ide-desktops/

So would I. If it should be user readable (why?) they could have used the enum name rather than an integer to store the setting.

The registry entry for storing the "Monitor Layout" setting in Delphi 12 contains the string "Allow changing screen on any layout change". WTF? Does that really mean this setting is language dependent?

Then building your own DLL is your only option for now. I might maybe build an alpha installer for 12.3 this weekend, but don't hold your breath.

Have you tried the existing version for Delphi 12? It should work, as this is a minor release of the IDE, but I haven't tested it. Alternatively you can build your own DLL. If you are asking for a 64-bit version of GExperts: That's not going to happen any time soon, if at all.

They don't call it "Version 1", they call it "Preview"^D^D^D^D^D^D ... no, they don't that was apparently during the beta phase. Now it's "64-bit initial release" which sounds more like it should be usable. Since I haven't used it at all so far, I can't comment on whether it is.

I have a similar problem with the GExperts hotkeys. There is a bug report on SourceForge that also suggests a cause and fix for this. Unfortunately I was unable to get it to work.

And Visual Basic is one place before Delphi again ...

I think we should stop feeding the troll.
