Why? If you have the product, you have the source. I never had the

Most of the time by inheritance, but if the bug was too deep
seated, I'd simply only recompile the unit under a different name
(I'd strip everything unnecessary and rename the class too).


If you compile your program without packages, you can just as easily
copy the faulty unit's source into your project directory and fix the
bug there.

That is another possibility. I prefer to rename everything and simply
use the renamed unit and class.

A full build will then use that source file rather than the
precompiled one.

Indeed.
