I started getting this Tcl error:
(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x1e85d08.c"
  while executing
".x1e85d08.c delete plot1e9715c"
  ("uplevel" body line 1)
  invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $docmds"
when I close a subpatch containing an array while data is frequently written to that array with [array set] or [tabwrite]. I can more or less reproduce it with the attached patch.
As a side effect sometimes the graphics of all GUI elements stop to update. For example, I can still move a slider and change the value but it doesn't change visually. Years ago I got a similar GUI freeze issue with Pd-extended together with a Tcl error but in another context.
I tested on Pd 0.47.1 + Windows 7.
Other user also get this Tcl error on OSX: https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2017-03/118477.html
