Hi, it seems OS 10.5 does not like everything that is called "help" or "Help" in the menubar, which causes Pd to crash. In pd.tk I replaced all mbar.help with mbar.help2 and -label "Help" with -label "Help!" and it works. This must be a bug in OS X 10.5, since the above should not be necessary. it's a bad hack... maybe there is a better solution. marius.

hey, apple was so nice to send me a 10.5 install dvd, and I can confirm that pd-extended crashes when I want to open the help menu. (pd-vanilla 0.40-2 works fine, hehe...) all pd-e versions that I tested crashed (0.39.3, 0.40.3 from 08/31 and even the one from oct26!) marius.

Well, I can't actually type anything in the new Help "Search" box (the cursor blinks but no text appears), but the menu entries below all work as they always have. Cheers Luke

Well, good news - I only had the crash when running an autobuild (pde 0.40.3) from September. I'm using October 26th's now and the crash no longer occurs.

If you feel like testing what in particular is causing the bug, you could try commenting out things in the pd.tk:
Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd.tk
It's just a text file. Check around line 614, $mbar.help is the help menu for any patch. The help menu for the Pd window is called .mbar.help, that comes earlier in the file.
I don't have access to a 10.5 machine, so I won't be able to try anything.

Hallo, I can confirm this...Must have something to do with Leopard's wacky new searchable menus feature, which is built in to the Help menu.

Hallo list!
I've just installed latest PD-extended in Macbook OSX 10.5 Leopard. When I try to click on the help menu, it crashes. I 've experimented the same problem a couple of years ago in other macs. Anybody in the same situation?
Best

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
