Here is something interesting: when I take a patch (like "bang~-help-pd" in this case) there is nothing visible when I first open it (screenshot bang~-help1.jpg). After selecting everything then cutting and pasting everything back the wire connections appear all the sudden (screenshot bang~-help2.jpg).

Eversince 0.40.3- extended certain objects are invisible on my two machines (AMD Windows XP SP2).
Object, Message, Number, Symbol Comment, Graph cannot be seen on loading existing patches or after inserting them from the put menue.
Array can be put. Values and titel can be seen but no border.
All other objects can be put, seen and their values can be changed correctly.
I know the objects are there because they appear in text mode.
They also react to the gui since somtimes when I click on certain spots it is printing something.
I can also move the "invisible" object somwhere else and now when I click there it is printing the same thing.
Could you post a screenshot? That sounds different from what I am seeing. It might give a clue. I am limited access to Windows machines, and I haven't been able to figure out why this is broken on Windows yet works fine on Mac OS X and GNU/Linux.
