hi,
...well, I guess you haven't been reading the list the last few 
days...this is a well known problem, also occurs with 8.4.3...BUT, 
thanks to Krzysztof Czaja, there is a solution:

--- pd.tk~	2003-04-06 03:35:29.000000000 +0200
+++ pd.tk	2003-05-29 15:52:16.000000000 +0200

      bind $name.c <KeyRelease> {pdtk_canvas_keyup %W %K %A}
      bind $name.c <Motion> {pdtk_canvas_motion %W %x %y 0}
      bind $name.c <Alt-Motion> {pdtk_canvas_motion %W %x %y 4}
-    bind $name.c <Map> {pdtk_canvas_map %W %s}
+    bind $name.c <Map> {pdtk_canvas_map %W 0}

...if you don't know how to use the "patch" command, then you could 
open pd.tk in a text editor, search for "bind $name.c <Map> 
{pdtk_canvas_map %W %s}", and then replace it with "bind $name.c <Map> 
{pdtk_canvas_map %W 0}" (without the quotes, in both cases)...

...don't forget to search the pd-list archives before asking 
questions...

l8r,
jamie
