Form X. is redefined incorrect in Class FMain

Hello out there,
I am doing my first steps with Gambas 3.14.3 (German language version) on Linux Mint 20.1.
On debugging my source code, I've got the error message "Form X. wird in der Klasse FMain inkorrekt redefiniert"
(which should be translated into English something like "Form X. is redefined incorrect in Class FMain".
What's the cause of this error and - even more important
- how can I fix it?
Thanks a lot

It should be FMain.X or the name of your Form (or Me.X) not Form.X
Form is used in events like Form_Open() Form_Close() etc but to address the form properties use its name or Me from within it's class
Public Sub Form_Open()
Me.X = 25
Wait 1
FMain.X = 50
End
there both Me.X and FMain.X mean the same thing.

You can imagine the IDE does this when it creates a default Form (FMain)...
Public FMain As Form
Public Sub Main()
FMain = New Form As "Form"
End
So Events will accessed like Form_EventName()
Properties are accessed with FMain.PropertyName
FMain_Open() will not work but Form_Open() will
Form.Width will not exist but FMain.Width will.
Hope that makes sense.

Sorry PJBlack. Thought this might would be a typical rookie issue that doesn't need source code to be solved.
And by the way - the entire program has more than 650 lines of code. Should I post 'em all?
Anyway - thanks for your reply!

Hi Bruce and thanks for your replies. In fact, it IS Form.X ! Sorry, but I cannot upload a screenshot to proof.
And - I think I found out the code that causes the error:
I have added the following declaration of a variable
:
Public x as Integer
If set this line to comment, the program runs fine and shows my form -
I remove the comment attribute - and get the error again ...
Is "x" a reserved word in GamBas?

Oops, sorry. Didn't see those two buttons. So now here's the screenshot

As I wrote earlier, omitting the declaration of "x" resolves the problem. So I assume that "x" is a
reserved word in GamBas - is that right?

The error says "Form.X" which would be the X property of a form called Form...which doesn't make sense.
Maybe just copy and paste the section of code that mentions Form.X.
