Why sometimes class methods or fields marked erroneous(red underline) by IDE

Sometimes some class methods or fields marked erroneous(that red underline) by IDE, but the project successfully compiled and executed(no error or warning).

If I hold mouse pointer on this erroneous sections I got this tool tip : "'TSomeClass' does not contain a member named 'SomeMethod'" or "Undeclared identifier 'SampleIdentifier'".

Is that a kind of IDE bug or am I wrong somewhere?

This is an old question, but I found it when searching for a similar issue. I have a large project group with over a dozen packages, and Error Insight was broken for only one of them. The issue appeared after upgrading to Delphi 10 Seattle.

In Project Options | Delphi Compiler, make sure "Use MSBuild externally to compile" is false. This fixed the Error Insight behavior in my project.

That feature is called Error Insight and is known not to work reliably. AFAIK you can't fix that. If it bothers you enough you'll have to disable it.
