Hi,

I'm struggling with two issues with the Search,Symbol (Browse) function 
of the FreePascal IDE.

Are these known issues, or is something wrong with how I installed or 
configured FreePascal?

1: With duplicate names it always shows the results for the one which 
was declared first. Regardless of which the cursor was sitting on when 
triggering the feature. Example:

uses
   a,b;  (* both declare a procedure named 'test' *)

begin
   a.test;
   b.test;
end.

If I inspect b.test, TurboPascal shows that it comes from b, FreePascal 
claims it comes from a.

2: The IDE has a window "Browser Options" which allows for example to 
set the Preferred Pane. But all options there have no effect, the 
changes are not even saved.

Klaus
