Thank you for your response!

Now I see:

It is not only my problem (since fpc 2.4.0).

The bug is registrated for fpc version 2.6.2 concerning Linux as

023956:  incorrect display of the cursor in the window edit code  and
023957:  incorrect procedure TIndicator.Draw for x86_64

As I allways install the binary form of fpc,  I hope the problem will be
fixed with the next major release.

thank you again,  Hans Ebeling
