Hi Graeme
Sorry mate, but it seems I've encountered a small /[i]glitch[/i]/ in 'TfpgEdit' control, it /[i]eats[/i]/ the first half-a-char's-worth of pixels of the text, when drawing itself, see attached screenshot... :-X
I've posted it on Lazarus forum with a screenshot here: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,73477.msg577147/topicseen.html#new
