At some point, my IDE Insight function stopped working. I have checked both the XE5 and XE6 versions that I have on my system and neither work, so it must be environmental.
When I click on the menu item, nothing pops up. There is no error given, just no IDE Insert screen. The same results happen when using the shortcut.
I am running Windows 7, Delphi Professional XE5 and XE6.
Anyone know how to fix this?
The IDE Insight window was removed in XE5. Instead, there's an edit box top right of the screen (Ctrl+. gives it the focus) that you type into and get a dropdown list of commands to pick from in response.
This is documented in What's New in Delphi and C++Builder XE5.

I'm using Delphi 11 and many time when I click the "Run without debugging" button, my program starts to execute. When I close my program, some Delphi IDE panels are missing. It looks like this:
This is my Delphi IDE version.
Is this a bug or a configuration? I can't find an option that controls this behavior. I can't make the missing panels show up again, and I have to restart the IDE.
This is a known bug in Delphi 11. Fix for this issue will be released with 11.1 update.

I updated my Windows 10 from 16179 to 16184 and since then, the Delphi ide does not appear anymore, but bds.exe is running normal in task manager.
Anybody has any clue whats going on?
Delphi is the only application so far which does not start properly.
When I revert back to 16179, Delphi works again as usual.

Win7 drives me crazy with his side effect. I describe it:
When I force the suggestion with Ctrl+Space, or Delphi do this automatically, the Delphi don't show the suggestion dropdown listbox, he is only bring my all opened forms to front, one by one.
This causes that what I typing is not going to editor window: it is going to any property of the active form, of the active control.
For example.
Ctrl+Space+"ShowMes..."
I don't got ShowMessage with suggestion listbox, I type ShowMess into my main form's caption.
Many times I need to make update pack's because the buttons, caption, etc got "ShowMes" or "Excep" or other property, because I type into these windows...
This function is sometimes broken on win7.
May I can restore the normal working mode without "bring all opened form to front"?
Thanks:

You can disable UAC in Windows 7, see here:

Also running Delphi 6 in Windows XP compatibility mode should do the trick.
See this discussion on the embarcadero forums, it's about Delphi 7, but it's the same issue:

Finally see here how to run a program in XP compatibility mode:

Has someone else experienced something like this with Delphi and if so is there a known workaround!
I'm using the Delphi 2010 Rad Studio on Windows 7 64 bit.
A few times when editing the IDE hangs and I can't do any action either by keyboard or mouse. But there is a error-beep sound from windows like there is a modal window open somewhere, but hidden behind the ide it self.
Only by ending the ide via Task manager can I make this hidden modal window visible.
I see this often with various other dialogs as well.
Pressing "Alt-Tab" and reselecting Delphi you will cause the dialog to appear in the front again.
Note: This happens with other versions of Delphi as well.
I have the same problem with older versions of Delphi like D6.
My solution is use another tool like WinExp –Windows Explorer– or WinResQ to explore the existing active windows on system and reactivate it (BringToTop).
With this solution I get the Delphi IDE on Top and appears the window that cause the lock. This is the only option I have worked for me.
Regards.
Alt+Tab works, but you have to select another application, then Alt+Tab to return to Delphi, and then the dialog will show in front.
I have a lot of errors in structure panel. The application compiles and run fine with Delphi 2007. But the code have much code that have red underlines. If I press Ctrl + leftclick on it it finds the original declaration. But it is still annoying to have all those errors.
These are well-known IDE bugs. Have you tried the IDE Fix Pack?
I have IDE Fix Pack installed, and still get incorrect error insight red lines regularly.
Some things which help (temporarily)
Close the project and delete *.local and *.identcache, then re-open the project.
When Loading a project, wait for the code-folding lines in the gutter to appear (before Delphi 2009, this indicates that the background compiler is finished)
I am assuming you just want all the red underlines to go away:
Tools | Options | Editor Options | Code Insight
Then uncheck Error insight
That is for Delphi 2010, but I think it is very similar in Delphi 2007, but I don't currently have it installed.
