Description

You will notice this bug in Delphi2006, Delphi2007 and Delphi2009, when using $R directive inside the source file of the Package Projects, just after the line {$R *.res}, like this {$R ShowMeBug.res}, then when you reopen the project you will notice random parts of this new resource file name added to the Contains directory
like this:
S
Sh
Sho
Show
ShowM
ShowMe
ShowMeB
ShowMeBu
ShowMeBug
ShowMeBug.r
ShowMeBug.re
ShowMeBug.res
though the project still can be compiled!

Steps to Reproduce:

- begin new package project and save it.
- create new resource file like (ShowMeBug.res) for example, and save it in the project directory.
- from the project menu select "View Source".
- in the package source file and after the line {$R *.res} enter a new line and type this line {$R ShowMeBug.res} letter by letter and don't use copy/paste.
- save the project.
- close the project.
- reopen the project.
- open the "Project Manager" window, expand the "contains" directory, you will see random parts of the resource file name added to the "contains" like this:
S
Sh
Sho
Show
ShowM
ShowMe
ShowMeB
ShowMeBu
ShowMeBug
ShowMeBug.r
ShowMeBug.re
ShowMeBug.res

Workarounds

- copy the resource file name and paste it directly after $R doesn't raise this bug!
- using $Resource instead of $R doesn't raise this bug!
- adding the {$R ShowMeBug.res} line after all directives doesn't raise this bug!

If possible, could you please attach some screenshots to confirm your issue?

Done.

There are many reports on this stuff. The problem is as old as Delphi is, actually. You should probably *not* manually edit the .dpr/.dpk files, it is my feeling manually editing dpr/dpk will never get fixed.

I agree with you, it's real pain!, and for that i said: adding a warning message in the beginning of the source file -or in the documentation- will be a good idea tell all that get fixed.
