[PD] bug with edit-mode (was Re: [PD-announce] PD 0.49-0test1 released)

[IOhannes m zmoelnig]

hi.

thanks for the bug-report.

unfortunately it indeed doesn't contain much information about what
could be the actual problem you are experiencing.

things i could establish:
- your patches switch to edit-mode when they shouldn't
- there is no indication of being in edit-mode
- you accidentally resize GOPs
- abstractions/subpatches send "messages"
- you are using a number of externals
- Pd sometimes crashes
- the problem appears under Pd-0.49-0test1
- everything works with Pd-0.48-2
(i hope this is correct).

so:

how do you know that you are in edit-mode? what are the clues that make
you believe that you end up in edit mode; what are the clues that are
missing (so you don't immediately realize you are in edit mode)?

what are these ominous "messages" being sent from abstractions/subpatches?
in Pd you are always sending messages between objects; so there must be
something special to yours. e.g. do they do some weirdo dynamic patching
things?

what externals are you using? do these externals interact with the GUI?
are there any GUI-plugins involved?

ghs,dr
