TEdit.Text won't update with user entered text - delphi

Question

I wrote a program where a TEdit (Edit1) and TButton (Button1) are used. When Button1 is pressed, the content of Edit1.Text is compared to a string constant. If both are identical, some other buttons will be set active. Edit1 and Button1 were directly placed onto Form1.
This all worked.
Then I rearranged Form1 (appearance of the window). I added some Panels and GridPanels. Button1 and Edit1 moved from Form1 to Form1->Panel5->GridPanel2.
Since then, things do not work anymore.
When I read Form1.Edit1.Text, only the original text shows up. When the program runs and I type something into Edit1, the typed text is visible. But the reading/content
of Form1.Edit1.Text does not change.
Is there any setting that stops that the data entered into the edit field is put into Edit.Text?
Whatever I type, Edit1.Text remains the original content that is in the code (Object Inspector).
I already did it a couple of times that I moved items onto panels and never had such a behavior.
Here is the code, that was not changed after moving Button1 and Edit1 onto panels.
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
//showmessage for debugging to see what the content is
showmessage(Form1.Edit1.Text);
if Form1.Edit1.Text = '1234' then
begin
// enable a button and an edit
Form1.Button_Open.Enabled := True;
Form1.Edit_Id.Enabled := True;
end
else
begin
showmessage('Wrong input');
// room for more code
end;
end;
I tried to find settings that stop data entered into the text field from updating Edit1.Text, but I did not find anything.
I deleted Edit1 and Button1 and entered new ones with the same names at the places they were before (GridPanel), but that still did not work.
I deleted Edit1 and Button1 and entered new ones with different names at the places they were before (GridPanel), but still did not work.
I deleted Edit1 and Button1 and entered new ones directly on Form1, but they also showed the same behavior.
Nothing that I type into the text field finds its way into Edit1.Text. It remains the original text that has been typed into the code.

Answer 1

I found the reason, by looking into the main program/project file:
Form1 was actually called twice. By deleting the second call, the program started to work as it should.
program Project1;
uses
Vcl.Forms,
Vcl.Themes,
Vcl.Styles,
EMR.pas {Form1};
{$R *.res}
begin
Application.Initialize;
Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1);
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, Form1); //called twice!!
Application.Run;
end.
