[fpc-devel] TFPTimer memory leak

[Okoba via fpc-devel]

Hi,

I have a memory leak problem with TFPTimer and I think I'm missing something. It happens randomly and not always.
Tested with Lazarus 1.8.4 and FPC 3.0.4 and FPC 3.1.1 on last updated version of Windows 10 with Debug build mode and it writes a memory leak lead to "Driver.Enabled := True;"
Can anyone help me?

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
Driver := TFPTimer.Create(Self);
Driver.Interval := 33;
Driver.OnTimer := @DriveOnTimer;
Driver.Enabled := True;
end;

procedure TForm1.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
begin
Driver.Enabled := False;
Driver.Free;
end;

procedure TForm1.DriveOnTimer(Sender: TObject);
begin
Caption := TimeToStr(Now);
end;

In this topic BrunoK said if we add Application.ProcessMessages; before Driver.Free it prevents the memory leak.
But I want to know if this is a good solution for it and if I faced a bug.
