Description
The TDescriptionPane of the ObjectInspector never displays anything other than the name of the property currently focused in the ObjectInspector.

As a component developer, I don't even know how to populate the pane with some useful information at design-time, and searching the Delphi help has not yielded any information.  Google has not faired much better other than I have now removed it thanks to Marco Cantu:
