But they still don't answer.

But I have an invoice from 15-OCT-2017 from Publisher: Alexey Dynnikov, Tsiolkovsky str., hs. 20, fl. 86, 140186 Zhukovsky, Russian Federation. Is this ALDYN Software?

The number of bugs in GetIt is incredible: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-10424?jql=text ~ "GetIt" It is not possible to insert an URL here. You need to paste the above URL into your browsers address bar!

But everything else in the IDE is in place. (I.e. nothing else in the IDE is out of place). Only the GetIt Package Manager has these elements out of place. This means that that the GeitIt PackageManager has bugs.

This does not solve the problem:

In Delphi 10.3.1 Rio, I have the Form Designer detached from the main IDE window: When the Code Editor in the main IDE window is focused, I have these 3 toolbars above the Code Editor: The toolbars (2) and (3) are from MMX. Toolbar (1) SUPPOSEDLY is a native toolbar from the Delphi IDE. But it seems not to be listed in the Customize list of toolbars? I have not found any way to hide this toolbar. How can I hide it? Why do I want to hide it? First, its functionality is already contained in MMX, so this toolbar is a waste of space. There is also this problem: When I select the form in the detached Form Designer then this toolbar (1) gets automatically hidden. When I then reselect the Code Editor in the main Delphi IDE window then this toolbar (1) automatically reappears which causes considerable flickering, and because of this flickering, a portion of code in the code editor gets selected which is VERY ANNOYING! So how can I HIDE this toolbar (1)?

Has anyone tried to install ErrorSoft VCL Components 3.1 from GetIt Package Manager in Delphi Rio 10.3.1: The installer does not finish and an error message is displayed "Error when executing an action of ErrorSoft VCL Components catalog. The action ID is 7": I have tried several times, since computers are not deterministic (many say that computers have a free will).

Thanks for testing. But as I said, installing the packages manually did work.

Not like Nosediving-Soft...

Suddenly the company name "Boeing-Soft" came into my mind - sorry! At least my computer made no nose-diving...

Analogy: What do you expect from a vendor called "Microsoft" - great things??

Meanwhile, I succeeded by installing the single packages manually in the IDE.

Thanks also to everybody for helping!

Thanks, Uwe, this is a VERY GOOD idea! In fact, this completely solves the problem with pasting many raw use-clause-items. Didn't even know Multipaste before. Maybe it should be called SmartPaste instead of MultiPaste, as it really is not a multiple paste action. Maybe also the dialog should automatically remember its last settings.

I could easily write a small script-tool which fixes the commas. But at a more general scope, it would be interesting if it was possible to fix these syntax errors with the help of the compiler?

They come from an external source by pasting.

There would be many lines. An automatism would be faster than adding the commas manually. Ideally, I would select a block of code and the errors in this block would be fixed. Ideally, the compiler would help.

In the video, it fixes just one error at a time. Can it also fix multiple errors with one action? But I doubt it can fix Delphi syntax errors... or is it configurable?

For now, yes.

Is there a specific technical reason why FreePascal can do it and Delphi can't do it?

So why Embarcadero hasn't fixed these bugs in 10.3.1?

Well, if Editor marks inline variables as error is the only bug caused by inline variables then I can easily live with it as I have switched Error insight off: Or are there any other bugs caused by inline variables?

Is there somewhere a comprehensive list of bugs provoked by inline variables?

😞 😞 😞

Thanks, Stefan. I would have preferred "the old way" which is more formal. BTW, are there any drawbacks in using inline variables? I am not sure, but I remember having read somewhere that there is still a bug in using inline variables.
