How do you destroy your forms? If you call Free/Destroy, events are
not waited to terminate, before form is destroied. You'd better use
.Release.
i.e.
frmAbout := TfrmAbout.Create(Self);
try
frmAbout.ShowModal;
finally
frmAbout.Release;
end;

if your program is "nullified" before all events are processed, this
could be a source of "strange errors" ;). This could explain why a
while..do works, and a simple property change does not.
