Upgrading AdvStringGrid : goFixedHorzLine keeps getting added to Options

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

I'm currently upgrading our components packs, and Delphi version (10.3 to 11.3).
The AdvStringgrids (our local descendant) are going from version 3.1.4.0 to 3.2.1.2

When I open a file with a .dfm in the IDE and save without any modifications, a few properties are changed.
The most visible to me is goFixedHorzLine getting added to the Options property. The others are some Color/ColorTo and some Fonts.
They even come back if I change in the "Object Inspector", save, verify with GitKraken that the change is here, close the IDE, reopen the project and then the file, I can see that the horizontal fixed lines are back.
I save, and see goFixedHorzLine come back.

I tried, in the local descendant, to redefine the default for the property.

const
  DEFAUT_OPTIONS =  [goFixedVertLine, ....

...
  TLocalGrid=class(TAdvColumnGrid)
...
    property Options default DEFAUT_OPTIONS;
  end;
...
constructor TLocalGrid.Create(AOwner:TComponent);
...
  Options := DEFAUT_OPTIONS;
end;

Rebuilt our whole component suite (because of dependancies) with .bat and Delphi closed.
And the problem still persists.

I tried on a simple Vcl.TStringGrid created in D10 and didn't see this behavior when opened in D11.

What can I do to stop that behavior ?

I cannot reproduce this.
When I open this project, goFixedHorzLine is never set.

Thanks for checking.
I still see the same thing with this project.
Must be something else in our code that cause this. I will continue my investigation.

I confirm that when using the unaltered sources for VCL UI Pack, I don't have this problem.
I will analyse all the differences to see if I can find the culprit.

Update on the investigation :
I've located the + [goFixedHorzLine] that is causing this, but it's not one of our modifications.
It's in TAdvStringGrid.InitVCLStyle.InitColors

But, as I said, it's not something we modified, and we didn't change any InitVCLStyle call.

I will continue to search what is triggering this, with someone to help me next week.

Is AdvStringGrid.UIStyle different from the default value tsCustom?

7

No, UIStyle is set to tsCustom on all our AdvStringGrid
(confirmed with a search)

8

Then I cannot see why it enters InitColors
Please provide a sample source app with which we can reproduce the problem here.

Thanks for your help.
I will be trying to do that next week.
