The GOP patches have a special algorithm to scale from the size of the
opened subpatch to that of the subpatch used as a GOP in another
patch. I do as follows. I design a patch with GUI elements, save it,
make a now patch where I load the first as an abstraction. Then I opn
the abstraction, switch on g.o.p., and close it again. Now it looks
horrible, and I fix that by editing the properties (width, height) of
the GOP abstraction inside the *parent* patch. If all is well, I save
the *child* patch, i.e. the very first abstraction, again and it now
remebers its size. One could probably do this with clever caculations
of the "X units", but in Pd I don't work that way.
ciao
