I have on a number of occasions moved all the items on my patch. I've actually been developing a number of my processes in separate patches and then compiling them into one final one where I know everything works.
Is this not a glitch then? Surely you need to be able to move stuff around your patch without certain starting to go mad?!
I believe, the comment displacement is a bug, that was fixed in later versions. I cannot reproduce it. Do you have an example patch?
Howver there are some other "glitches" possible in Pd.
Pd patches keep a coordinate system with the origin (0,0) at the upper left corner. You can see the coordinates, if you look at a patch in a text editor. Now if you move objects into the negative area, that is, very far to the left or top, Pd will get confused. You can force this for example by opening any patch like "01.PART1.hello.pd" from the docs, then "select all", grab the objects in the lower right and push them to the upper left, so that most other objects are now outside the visible patch.
After that operation, the Menu you get with a right-click will be way off the mouse position.
The fix: Never move objects outside the left or top window border.
Ciao
