Salut Martin,

did you give /Tools/Update all forms a chance?
If *.form files corrupted they throw some times strange errors. They
appear mostly in top of the project explorer.

I would only work with the newly per Save as created project .

And I would take a diff-tool (Meld p.ex.) and look for the diff of the
meant corrupted .form and .class. or the whole project. To find out what
was happened (but not to long, dont waste time). 
And then wipe the old corrupted project from your disk, or pack it with
'corrupted' in the name, and then wipe the corrupted project from your
disk .
