Delete these lines in g_text.c:
/* for comments, just draw a bar on RHS if unlocked; when a visible canvas is unlocked we have to call this anew on all comments, and when locked we erase them all via the annoying "commentbar" tag. */ else if (x->te_type == T_TEXT && glist->gl_edit) { if (firsttime) sys_vgui(".x%lx.c create line\
%d %d %d %d -tags [list %sR commentbar]\n", glist_getcanvas(glist), x2, y1, x2, y2, tag); else sys_vgui(".x%lx.c coords %sR %d %d %d %d\n", glist_getcanvas(glist), tag, x2, y1, x2, y2); }
(however, that won't disable the functionality; just the ugly marks.)
nice hack, thanks it sure makes me wonder less if I left any unwanted characters in my comments. :)
I'm still trying to think of something less ugly - tell me if you have any ideas...
I faintly remember a problem with the comments in Tcl/Tk not really honouring line feeds correctly (or Return character), right? I mean if the line feeds were working and would show up identically after saving and loading the file from disk, then there would be no need to resize comments at all. Would this issue still be a problem in current Pd?
Resizability sure makes sense with objects where one would need to see different outlets more easily.
Thanks! best, Peter
