[PD] L2Ork pd-extended release candidate 1 now available (was: Re: call for testers...)

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Hi,
     Here are some scrolling observations:
In the attached patch, drag the [pd] object far down into the 
bottom right-hand corner, so that you get some scrollbars to appear.  
Now, on the current pd-extended, you can scroll down to that object, 
and when you drag it back to its original location, the scrollbars 
respond in realtime so that the object swoops back up the patch 
until, finally, the scrollbars disappear.  In your version the 
scrollbars don't react until you stop dragging and release the mouse 
button.  Just an observation-- I suppose both methods have their 
strengths and weaknesses.  I prefer the current Pd-ext behavior-- 
for example, if I happen to paste an object into another patch with a smaller window size, it makes it quick to drag it back up.

But notice that once you drag the [pd] object back near its original 
position, the [f] object looks as if it's at (0,0), when it's really 
at (10,10).  However, if you save the patch and reopen it the [f] 
will appear at its proper, original position-- (10,10).  I think this 
is a bug, because it means any time one adds or takes away the 
scrollbars the absolute positioning of the objects on the canvas is 
temporarily lost, forcing the user to close and open to see the 
real positioning.
