Hello Theo,

Could you please let me know if that code compiles or not. The lines that contain non renamed items, have got very strange syntax - SomeText(0) := somevar. I don’t know if that would be compiled in Oxygene or not.
I think that at some points Oxygene renaming doesn’t work with broken syntax because compiler simply cannot identify the var in broken statement.

Thanks in advance.

I can not tell you - this code does not exist anymore (not in this form).
But it happens more often.

Please, let us know next time it happens to you.
Thanks in advance.

Can you at least give a warning in the rename dialog that not all code is compilable and that therefore there is a chance that not all references will be renamed?

Agreed. Refactoring a should by very definition only ever be applied to working (=compiling) code.
