Description:		Steps:
[QC Short Description] REPRODUCABLE Error Insight Eats All Memory [QC Description] I finally found something reproducable that shows Error Insight consuming memory to the point that the IDE slows to a crawl (or worse). See steps.. QC Entry 51136 [ref. 244356, looks like similar issue.]		1) I bring up an out of the box (well, as downloaded) copy of the Delphi personality on a freshly booted machine. 2) Open a new VCL Forms Application. 3) Open the Windows Unit and the Classes Unit 4) Have Task Manager running so you can follow the Mem Usage of bds.exe. The CPU Time is interesting to watch as well. 5) When looking at the Windows Unit, you should see three Error Insight messages (QC51111). 6) Go down to the TYPE directive at line 109 and put a couple of // in front of it to comment it out. Wait patiently for about 7-10 seconds while the Error Insight list gets built in the Structure window. Get used to seeing how long this takes... 7) Switch to the Classes unit and comment out the TYPE directive on line 72 (it isn't the first TYPE) 8) You'll now see a few Error Insight messages from Classes. Leave classes with these errors. 9) Switch back to the Windows unit where the TYPE is commented out. 10) Position the cursor right after the two // you added. 11) Now comes the fun... While watching the list of Errors in the Structure box, backspace twice to delete the two // characters. As soon as big bunch of Error Insight error messages disappear (three will remain), type the two // characters again and wait for all of the Error Insight Messages to reappear (7-10 seconds). 12) Repeat step 11, alternating between having the errrors and not having the errors. Remember to delete the // as soon as the error messages finally appear and add the // back after the error messages quickly disappear. 13) Follow the Mem Usage while doing this -- things bog down when you get up to about 1.2 GIG of memory usage. (Don't forget to fix the source files when you are done) Choice of files isn't significant -- just something to generate lots of errors...

Description:		Steps:
When the Editor options "error insigth" is enabled, Adding comments, new lines and deliting lines within a class definition is causing performance issue. After dding few blank lines between class fields definition, the "private bytes" of the bds process increase of 1K. Removing those makes this number to increase of 1 more K per line removed. The "Private Bytes" number will not decrease unless even when those comments or blank lines are removed. BDS needs to be re-started to see "privates bytes" number change. [ref. 254984 for other steps.]		1. Open a pas file with class definition 2. start process explorer and open the properties window for it - [Private bytes during at this point of this test is 139 484 K] 3. add blank lines between fields of a class definition. -[ "private bytes" = 140 828 K"] 4. remove the same lines [ "private bytes" = 144 284K"] 5. wait ....10 minutes.

Description:		Steps:
[QC Short Description] Class completion duplicates code when invoked on certain classes [QC Description] When invoked on some classes, class completion will duplicate code; usually what is located in the topmost private section. This problem is present in build 2738, but not in 2728. QC Entry 48947		1. Start Delphi build 2738. 2. Open the attached dupunit.pas. No need to create a project first. 3. Move the cursor somewhere in the class and invoke Class Completion (Ctrl+Shift+C). 4. The expected behavior is that nothing should change, but everything in the private section is duplicated and class completion produces code that doesn't compile.

When a file is added to a package project and there is a .dcr with the same base name as the file, it leads to duplicate .dcr's in the project causing duplicate resource errors. [this problem was introduced to Spacely post-RTM]		0. Install Spacely and Cogswell [an important step, the latest Spacely only does not show the problem] 1. Unzip attachment to a directory 2. File \| New Delphi Package 3. Project \| Add To Project and select the Unit1.pas you unzipped in step 1 4. Go to Project \| Remove From Project notice the list contains: Unit1.dcr rtl Unit1 Unit1 5. Remove one of the Unit1s 6. Go to Project \| Remove From Project and notice that the list is the same or there might now be two Unit1.dcr's alternate steps to see the duplicate dcr's 1. Unzip attachment to a directory 2. File \| New Delphi Package 3. Project \| Add To Project and select the Unit1.pas you unzipped in step 1 4. Go to Project Manager and remove Unit1.pas from the project 5. Go to Project \| View Source and notice two entries for Unit1.dcr,e.g. package Package1; {$R *.res} {$R '..\test\Unit1.dcr'} {$R '..\test\Unit1.dcr'}

Description:		Steps:
[QC Short Description] Project options dialog corrupts the list of DCR files in package DPK file. [QC Description] The list of DCR files in the package DPK file gets "corrupted" to include duplicate entries, which in turn prevent the project from building. Manual editing of the DPK file can resolve the problem. QC Entry 50146		0: First, copy the attached UNIT1.PAS and UNIT1.DCR to a folder on your system. (or use any other PAS/DCR pair that you have) 1: Launch RAD Studio 2: File/New Package - Delphi Win32 3: Right-click on package1.bpl in project manager, and "View Source". You'll see this at the head of the file. package Package1; {$R .res} {$ALIGN 8} ... 4: Project/Build Package 1 - this works just fine. 5: Project/Add to Project "Unit1.pas" (from step #0) Note that the package "view source" (the DPK file) now looks like this:- package Package1; {$R .res} {$R 'dcrbug\Unit1.dcr'} {$ALIGN 8} ... 6: Again, Project/Build Package 1 - this works just fine. 7: Open Project/Options dialog, and click "OK" to close: DPK file now looks like this package Package1; {$R .res} {$R 'dcrbug\Unit1.dcr'} {$R 'dcrbug\Unit1.dcr'} {$ALIGN 8} ... Note: an additional line will be added each time you repeat this step!! 8: Again, Project/Build Package 1 EXPECTED: Builds ok.

I was trying to compile and install a component set designed for BDS2006. There are two packages. One runtime and one design time. The runtime package compiled OK. The design time complained about a component already in the design time package and proposed to remove the unit. I asked to see the details in the remove dialog box, then clicked OK to accept removing. The access violation occured when I clicked OK. QC Entry 42271 and also 42274 It looks like it is not related at all to the attached code. I reproduced with another project. I built a sample project. See attached file PackageCrash2622.zip. Note: DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ATTACHED CODE ! QC 42271 - removed from Ref No so field testers cannot see the attached code // Francois Piette Still there in 2671 Still in 2798, see QC51434 Still in 2825.9366_VCL_Update.8, see QC53376		Steps with the simple projects attached: 1.

Build package2 => The IDE pops a dialog box up to let you remove Component1 Click OK to remove Component1 => ACCESS VIOLATION 8. Shutdown the IDE => Send report to Microsoft :-) NOTE 7/17/07 - This no longer results in an AV. It causes an duplicate resource to be added to the project Source file. if you remove this duplicate, the file now builds fine. Note by F.

Description:		Steps:
[QC Short Description] ESD Help installer & 7zip files installed to bad location - prevents network install [QC Description] When the ESD installer stub is used to install Highlander, it downloads the instal 7zip files to a location of the user's choice, then unzips them into the Documents and settings\all users directory and continues installation from there. With the breakout of the help installer into a separate procedure, this is no longer true of the help install - The installer and 7zip files for the help system are downloaded to c:\documents and settings instead. Because of this, If I use the install image on the network to install to several workstations, each of the workstations must face a lengthy download of the help system files. There may be a way to make the help install automatically if the files are copied to the network/external hd, but if there is it is not obvious, and really should not be necessary. Only obvious "solution" is to copy the Help install files from documents and settings to each workstation prior to running install. Install should work without such hacks. QC Entry 51030		Download install.exe to a network or external drive. Run install. Attach a different workstation to the network or external drive Run install from second workstation Exp: Install for second workstation will use data downloaded to the network or external hd and will not need to download any files from the internet. Act: RAD Studio is installed without downloading additional files from the internet, but the Help install files are not available to the second workstation, so it spends an additional 3.5 hours downloading them (actual time from my workstation at work).
