I have even MORE LSP problems for you...

#1: dispose() doesn't work... when disposing an object, it likes to go off into
never-never land... DisposPtr(ptr()) is a good work-around, but it would be nicedfor dispose to work.

#2: as far as I can tell, when using a filter in a modalDialog loop, stops
won't.  for example...
   repeat
      modalDialog(myDlog,someFilter);
     case itemhit of {that call to modalDialog was a bit screwy, btw}
     ...
     end;
   until itemhit=ok;

any stop in the loop won't.

#3: this is the most serious I've found (and I just found it today, too!).
I'm debuggin a monstrous dlog which uses pop-up menus, numerous edit texts,
and loads of other neat stuff.  What it is is a search dlog, and I'm using
objects as the different types of searches (search by int, by date, etc).  The problem I'm getting is that somewhere along the line LSP locks up.  The steps
I'm taking are...

I go through the DLOG no problem.
I then call GetDLOG() which grabs all the pertinent info.
GetDLOG calls each object's own GetDLOG() call, so they can handle it in their
own way.

the problem is when I set a stop point in the TSType.GetDLOG() call and pop
up either LightsBug or the Observe window, it locks up.

it you with, I'll mail some source to you (it's a 15K unit).
thanks much,
