When loading the Unit/Form in the attachment (a cut down), I get an hour glas in the 2.06 IDE and this state remains. The task manager tells me the IDE is inactive and demands lots of CPU rescources. Any idea on this?

It's in an endless loop in the TScrollablePanel.  There's a "bounce" condition in the scroll handling somewhere in the design-time editor, so this will have to be a B2 fix.

Michael,

I've got a fix for this, and it will be coming out in 2.06 B2.

For now, here's the hot fix:

WebCtrls unit:

procedure TScrollBar.ValidateParams;
begin
  if (FPageSize >= 0) then   <<<<<<<<<<<  Change this to >=, not just >
     FRange:=Max(0,(FContentSize-FPageSize))
  else
     FRange:=0;
  FPosition:=Min(FPosition,FRange);
end;

The issue was caused when the FPageSize member variable was 0.
