[$n 1] often isn't recognized when I first load an abstraction. However, if I create one in a patch it creates properly, first time. So I find myself having to open my abstractions and re-create all my [$n 1] objects each time I load them. This doesn't seem to happen with [dollarg], so I have started changing my [$n 1] to [dollarg].
I am still curious as to why this is happening though. Is it a known bug?
I am running Pd-extended 0.41.4 on a MacBook with OS X 10.5.8.
