[PD] [GEM] weird rendering order problem

Hello all,

I have a very strange problem in rendering order. I have several textured polygons in render orders from 11-35 and a big textured polygon on top with a higher number gemhead, but for some reason it doesn't show on top. I have tried it in a big fat patch (where it fails) and in a simple patch where it succeeds. I also tried in the big fat patch, having everything with positive numbers and the one i want on top with negative rendering numbers, but still doesn't work.

What could be causing this?:

I suspect one possibility is that I am using many abstractions and/or subpatches, could this corrupt somehow the rendering order?

I have tried this in:

• quadcore machine running Windows XP - Pd Extended 0.39.3 - GeForce 8600GT
• powerbook G4 OSX, GEM 0.91 from cvs

best,

J
