Submitted By: Frank Barknecht (fbar) Assigned to: Miller Puckette (millerpuckette) Summary: Sending a list to [select] can leave it in an unusable state
Initial Comment: A [select] object primed with a symbol argument will reset itself into an unusable state by sending it a list with at least two elements.
Attached patch illustrates this behaviour using a [select x]-object. Sending a message [symbol x( will normally make the left outlet generate a bang. However sending a message [list x y( will disturb the [select x] object, so that it will not correctly react to a second [symbol x( message, until reset by a [symbol x( message to its rigth inlet.

I down-priorized this, as it's not a real bug, the documentation just doesn't mention what will happen if lists are sent to [symbol x].
I'd suggest to update the documentation to explain, that like many objects in Pd [select] distributes lists over its inlets as well, which has to be taken into account when looking for unusual behaviour.
