[QC Description]
The IDE Exception dialog supports Ctrl+C to copy the error message to the clipboard.

Unfortunately the clipboard copy does not include the call stack which is shown in the details.

When manually posting QC reports (and not using AIR) the call stack has to be copied manually which is cumbersome.

See Steps.

Automatic conversion of .bdsproj to .dproj fails to convert $Z (DCC_MinimumEnumSize)

[QC Description]
When upgrading an BDS2006 .bdsproj file to the new-style .dproj file, the value in DCC_MinimumEnumSize is set to True, which cannot be interpreted later on during compilation.

This happens whenever the original .bdsproj file mentions the compiler option Z, with a value of 2 or 4 (the default value, 1, doesn't result in a DCC_MinimumEnumSize value in the .dproj file).
Note that compiler option A (which also needs a value of 1, 2 or 4) maps correctly to DCC_Alignment.

IDE\File Handling

It is expected to have the IDE be able to open anyfile is can find, whatever the extension is. This is specially true for inc files which are frequently used.

IDE keeps focus if project MainFormOnTaskBar is False

[QC Description]
I am seeing a strange new behavior with the new forms and vcl posted to binaries on 3/22 if MainFormOnTaskBar is set to False.

When a project is run from the IDE, after the application displays for a moment the IDE pops in front of it. This is caused by the fact that the IDE has focus -- not the project app -- and if anything under the mouse pointer causes the IDE to display a tooltip.

If I revert back to the RTM forms and vcl, this behavior does not occur because the project app gets focus when run.

Some notes:

- The first time I run an app after starting the IDE, it stays in front even though it does not have the focus. Thereafter all runs, even when opening and running a different app, the IDE will come to front if triggered by a tooltip.

- A simple new project with no controls does not exhibit this behavior because MainFormOnTaskBar is set True. If I change this to False, then it does exhibit.

Application set to start minimized will behave erratically if MainFormOnTaskbar := True for non-Vista Windows

[QC Description]
When an application is set to start up in the wsMinimized state, it will have some very strange behaviors:

1) It will start like if it were running in Windows 3.1, i.e., instead of showing in the taskbar it will show a minimal window;
2) After restoring that window, it cannot be properly minimized to the taskbar: clicking the minimize button has no effect.

As shown in the steps, this can be seen on a simple blank VCL forms application.

Notes:
1) This only happens on Non-Vista (e.g.: XP, 2003);

2) This only happens when the default "Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;" is used; changing it to "False" will no longer exhibit the problem;

3) This happens regardless of using themes or not: tested in both configurations.

BringToFront is not working in build 2686, and frankly I'm not sure when it was broken. The setting for MainFormOnTaskBar makes no difference. (edit: Actually, on the test app, MainFormOnTaskBar DOES make a difference -- the bug only exhibits when it is set to TRUE. However, the setting makes no difference in my production app.).
