Sometimes (I am not able to replicate this or to say when exactly it
happens) the first two tabs of the projects options disappear. After a
restart of the IDE everything is ok.

See the attached screenshot. (2.05 Build 4)

That will occur if the IDE thinks it's dealing with a non-visual project.  I assume that's not the case here ?

That's correct. I've never created a non-visual project. Smile

Okay, this is how the IDE determines if an application is a visual project or not:

It looks at your program source (myproject.wbp) and tries to find the TApplication.Run method.  If it can't find it, then it thinks the project is a non-visual project.

So, if you've got a syntax problem or some other issue with the program source code that makes it so the compiler can't find the TApplication.Run method, then you'll see something like what you describe.

Thanks. Knowing that, I'll check out the program source if it occurs
again. And yes: I changed some code in the program source.
