I'm neither a Pure Data specialist nor a developer.
The best I can do, as a user, is to try thinking cleverly.

If I delete the 1st line on three from my reorganized Restore/Coords 
list, the result is still a good behavior of my GOP / patch.
So it seems this Coords was also referring to this canvas.
Why it was added if it's unnecessary ?

Best,
