    Is your unit name "FMX" ? :)
    Add a property to your local TFont class and try to access it from "Foo"

    Possibly a bug, because this does not compile:

    unit unit2;

    interface
    implementation

    uses
    FMX.Graphics;

    type
    TFont = class
    end;

    procedure Foo(const Bar: FMX.TFont);
    begin
    Bar.Family := 'Courier New';
    end;

    end.

    wait, this is better:
    procedure Foo(const Bar: FMX.Graphics.TFont);

    OK, maybe I begin to understand what you mean.
    FMX.TFont does not exist, Ctrl-Click jumps to local TFont, even if TFont has underlined in red. Is FMX the default namespace?

    Gustav Schubert no, just a unit1

    David Berneda If you right click on FMX.TFont and go to find declaration what do you get?

    If you comment out the declaration of the local TFont, then a Control-Click on the TFont part of FMX.TFont goes to FMX.Graphics.TFont. The Control-Click tries to be clever when it should help you. This is an old feature, not a bug. A new feature could override the old feature, but I don' think it is on the roadmap. First, they will get rid of the red underline, because it was requested here earlier.

    Ctrl+click might not be a bug, the that the compiler compiles ok is very suspicious

    I get TFont listed as the first code completion suggestion when I enter a dot after FMX in the paramter list of the procedure. In the body of the method I get Graphics as a suggestion. It is a bug. Code completion should not suggest TFont, compiler should not compile FMX.TFont. Ctrl-Click should not jump anywhere. And I should not try to make hidden jokes about it. But the red underline is ok! :)
