hi.
thanks for the bug-report.
unfortunately it indeed doesn't contain much information about what could be the actual problem you are experiencing.
things i could establish:
(i hope this is correct).
so:
how do you know that you are in edit-mode? what are the clues that make you believe that you end up in edit mode; what are the clues that are missing (so you don't immediately realize you are in edit mode)?
what are these ominous "messages" being sent from abstractions/subpatches? in Pd you are always sending messages between objects; so there must be something special to yours. e.g. do they do some weirdo dynamic patching things?
what externals are you using? do these externals interact with the GUI? are there any GUI-plugins involved?
