Oh I think I see what's happening. On 7b85 creating the secondscreen won't allow you to get the focus back to the patcher window. I don't recall this happening in 7b74 and it definitely isn't the case in Jag. It's very likely tcl/tk is at fault here, but it could be a change in the windowmanager or GL code as well. I'll see what I can find out about this problem. Just to narrow things down - what hardware are you using?
It should be noted that OSX development is only focused on 10.2 right now although testing is ongoing with 10.3. This is the first problem (and it's very recent) that has cropped up with 10.3 since the very early seeds like 7a202.

Hmm
maybe its a panther thing? Ive been running 7b85 for a while. Id always
set the toggle for secondscreen $1 and then hit 'create'
no joy, but I havent tried it for a while. ill try again later.
and btw, I tried the pix_separate to split the gem renderchain but nothing changed at all. same issue as before.
All I did however was replace the 'separate' object with pix_separate,
in my patch..
is there any special 'architecture'/patch setup that needs to be done?
sorry for dragging this out but im a bit confused.
thanks for all the help again
