The "Other sources (used only by IDE)..." tunable - that setting, what

I must precisely knows how tune project settings to all my units be 
found (i already knew it, thanks to ours disscussions).
That sense: if whatever fundamental don't works properly, then secondary 
things is unimportant.
apropos: "--debug-out" is usable to penetrate into units searching 
process ?

I have a few (the two) ideas, but at first i must explore sources and do 
some experiments with it.

forms.
I have redirect dialog messages (the first simple idea) form 
dialogprocs.LoadCodeBuffer() to my own logger window.
Thanks for your respond. It will be reflect to bugtracker ?

The second idea - about event reactors insertion, but she is not 
complete.
