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

[JTG III]

Well I know that the canvas is in edit mode as anytime I try to click
anything I end up grabbing something and resizing it instead, and toggling
edit mode on and off in the edit menu makes it behave as expected. The
thing with having no indication of currently being in edit mode was only
happening when I would first open the patch, and as mentioned I could tell
that it was in fact on because whenever I would try to click on anything in
the PD window with the mouse the cursor would instead select or start
resizing whatever was beneath it.
Thinking about it now I figure it must have something to do with
donecanvasdialog, would that make sense? I'm not using any gui plugins and
no externals are interacting with the gui, but I am using a number of
structs. I'll check that in a couple of hours when I'm back at home.
