Summary: sending a cut message to an "invisible" subpatch makes crash

Initial Comment:
If you have a subpatch, and send a "cut" message to it when it is not in "visible" state (i.e. it is not open), pd crashes.

This may happen when using scripting, if for example you send a "find foo" message followed by a "cut" message. If the object does not exist (and the subpatch hasn't been made explicitly visible), the cut message will reach the canvas when it is invisible.

See the attached example.

Tested on 0.40.2 on Windows XP.

Miller, if I were against you, I'd suggest that you make a
"delete-in-rectangle" message optimised for scripting.

Message:
fixed this slightly differently.  (Hannes -- the vis/invis editor
allocation and deallocation
code is so complicated I'm afraid to try to enable "edits" on invis
windows.  Instead I
want to write a "delete-in-rectangle" message optimized for scripting.

raised priority since this bothers me right now!

miller: any chance to get selection/copy/paste/... to work with closed
patches?
