Summary0037595: Menu item drawing issue during adding a menu separator
DescriptionWhen a new menu item is added to a menu is takes a short time until the menu is updated. If a separator line as added the neighboring menu item is erroneously displayed also in the space to be occupied by the separator. When a regular menu item is added this does not happen
Steps To ReproduceAdd a TMainMenu to a form
Open the menu editor and add several menu items.
Select one of the inner items and click on one of the buttons in the second button column of the menu editor in order to add a separator above or below the selected item
During the time the menu is rebuilt the selected item is drawn in the space to be occupied by the separator; this should not happen.

See attached screenshot.
Additional InformationBeginning with Laz trunk r63791 I checked back to v1.8.4 - all versions show the issue (v1.6.x has still the old menu editor).

I see the issue clearly on Win 10. On Manjaro Linux, on the other hand, the separator line appears immediately, no duplicate drawing of the selected menu item - it is not clear to me, however, whether this is a consequence of the menu building process appearing to be considerably faster in Manjaro than in Windows
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in Revisionr63802, r63803

WIN 10, v. 2004 (19041.450, suppose the latest).

1° I also see the artefact on inserting the first separator.

2° right click a separator -> Separators -> click Remove all separators gives me a "External: SIGSEGV"
   Does it also happen on your system ?

> 2° right click a separator -> Separators -> click Remove all separators gives me a "External: SIGSEGV"

Actually that was an Assert() line. Please try with r63802.

@Juha r63802 ok for SIGSEGV

Attached patch should solve :

1° I also see the artefact on inserting the first separator. -> DisableAutoSizing + EnableAutoSizing, lines 2048 - 2066

3° There was also a display problem deleting all separators from a valid menu item in TShadowBox.RemoveAllSeparators. Solved by refreshing item's positions. Also decided that the selected item is the one that was last selected or the nearest next one if possible.

Note to myself : looks good but still a slight hiccup when inserting the first separator in a lazarus session.

Will not dig further why.
