I don't know if it's a known bug or not. But I found that if I use accents like '^' in my comments and I want to make some later corrections (deleting a letter, typing more etc.)the cursor appears dislocated. I'm running Pd-0.42.5-extended-rc4-macosx104-i386 on OSX 10.6.5. Am I missing anything?
Is GridFlow loaded ? It forces Pd to use UTF-8 (Unicode) on OSX, so that it produces patches that are loadable on Linux, and so that I can write accents at all in Linux. Then it also has that side effect, that the cursor is off, because I couldn't make a complete fix of Pd from within an external.
The complete fix of character encodings was published at the beginning of the year, but Miller and Hans don't want to apply it on Pd 42.
I'm betting that there won't be a 'pd-extended stable release' with proper UTF-8 handling until late 2011. That's why I made this hack last year.

Yep. GridFlow is loaded.
thanks, Mathieu
