[PD] pd gui: partial interface freeze

[Py Fave]

usb/hid did this if i remember correctly.

i solved it by usind a different build or another object:
[joystick] but it was on windows

i guess this is a known bug because [hid]  is so useful
perhaps someone has a better knowing of this .?
or a workaround .
