For your scenario reading the COM port is a better solution. We have only one form that displays many details related to scanned bar-code. Usually the user will work all the day only with a bar-code scanner. No keyboard, no mouse. And the installation must be as easy as possible. Some want to work on Linux, others on smart TV Box's with Android... so this year we moved this part in browser.

A little off-topic but this depends. I prefer the scanner to be a keyboard because every client want to user their scanner and setup is very easy. Just plug the scanner into USB and is working. With VCL I use Form.OnKeyDown with Form.KeyPreview=True. Even in browser I use document.addEventListener("keydown", WAKeyDown). This way if the web app tab in the browser has focus I receive the input from the keyboard. No need to have a edit box in focus. And reading a serial port in Javascript is not so straightforward. But there can be a issue if you want to distinguish between a real keyboard and barcode reader.

We use Fork but you need to test to see what is best for you. Never used Delphi integration.

--old news--

Patch is just released. https://blogs.embarcadero.com/delphi-compiler-and-lsp-patch-for-rad-studio-10-4-1/

You told as that a component is becoming nil. Nil can be a reference to an instance of a class (namely a variable), not a class itself. If table1 is that component that is becoming nil then put a data breakpoint on table1. More exactly on table1's address (namely @table1). But it is enough to write table1 into the addresses field of "Add Data Breakpoint" dialog. @Remy Lebeau thank you very match for this. I needed a data breakpoint sometimes but I didn't know they actually exists.

Splitting is useful if you use for backup something that compares the files and only overwrite those that changed.

In this case I think it would be better to have all that folders in one repo. Then a branch would not be disturbed because all is there. You will have to deal with conflicts only at merge.

Something like this? https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-30773

If you are not in the first wagon then yes, others ask for you. I just setup a SSH and Git as server on Windows using OpenSSH that comes with Windows 10 but this came only two or three years ago and information is not yet well polished. Git as a server on Windows is also not so frequently used. It was enough the information I found, I did not need to ask for help, but it was harder than I thought. Now I think that doing the same thing on Linux is easier because almost all info is for Linux. Installing Subversion server on Windows was a piece of cake some years ago.

Not about Delphi IDE but I just tried to take a snip of the screen with Windows logo key+Shift+S. It is sooo slow in VMware to select that rectangle.

Maybe I am wrong but it is not 2^16=65536?

You are right, sometimes is working sometimes not. But manual copy from text I think is working always. Switch back to "View as Form" and Paste on an other TCard.

I tried to Copy-Paste. It's working for me in 10.4.0.

I know it is frustrating but the result is same for me.

I tried with "Enable Flow Control Highlighting" disabled in 10.4 but I do not see any difference. It is a little slow only when bottom white space appears.

This issue is visible starting with D10.0 Seattle. Delphi XE-XE5 does not behave like this. But only when you see bottom white space.

D10.4 with i7-8700K For me anywhere in the source IDE CPU is 10% and very responsive. At the bottom when white space appears is 25% and a little slower but not an big issue. I rarely use scrolling when bottom white space is shown. I think this issues is tied to CPU speed + Number of LOC displayed when bottom white space is shown. No graphic card involved. Try to make the IDE height smaller in order to display fewer lines of code and for sure it will be faster and.... useless. Does it behaves better on host? I think does not.

I have almost the same configuration and bellow settings for display but I don't see any issues with scrolling. In VM is Windows 1903, on host 2004. I don't do any adjustments to the IDE after instalation. I will try to install Windows 2004 also in one VM and see. Update: I can install now Windows 2004 only on older VM's, on newer VM's with D10.3.3 and 10.4 I have this message "The Windows 10 May 2020 Update is on its way. Once it’s ready for your device, you’ll see the update available on this page."

THTTPClient doesn't work on Windows 7 and XP with SSL. On XP the message is "Server Certificate Invalid or not present" I don't find the message from Windows 7 but here is something about: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50765476/delphi-tnethttprequest-tnethttpclient-works-on-win-10-but-not-win-7

Then it looks like it's deallocated at close. Maybe if you can debug and look in task manager. Put a break point in System._Halt0 and maybe you will see where is deallocated. Maybe deallocation is in finalization sections or some dll's. Maybe this MemoryUsed function can be called from watch list and compared with Task manager.

But reports something or doesn't report anything?

From what I see it's fixed like this: var p : PWord;

I can't reproduce this issue (the wrong value to be displayed across all records). What Delphi version do you use? Try to do a minimal example to reproduce this and post here. But why ?!? Your code is more convoluted and I don't see any benefit. Only trouble.

This procedure takes 76% of time in my case 2694 procedure TfrxPDFExport.ExportViaVector(const Memo: TfrxCustomMemoView); and was called because GapY was -1 if (Memo.ReducedAngle <> 0) or (Min(Memo.GapX, Memo.GapY) < 0) then ExportViaVector(Memo) With Gap=0 for some of memo components ExportViaVector() takes 44% of time and the report looks the same but the PDF is generated in 6 seconds vs. 13 seconds Edit: Better take a profiler and don't lose the time guessing.
