Yes, many, including tof/pmenu and others. I guess I’ll have to remove them and re-add them one-by-one to find which one it is. I was hoping the error message might contain a clue I didn’t recognize. I think I will also re-Deken all externals to see if something old is lying around. The intermittent nature of the bug is what is so puzzling!

seems like a bug in an external, are you using any GUI externals?

Argh, the last line got chopped from the error message, sorry; here it is in full:

Hello all,

I have installed Pd 0.52-2 on a mid-2015 Intel MacBook, and sporadically, loading a particular (complex) patch produces the following error in the console:

(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x7fef6f4b8df0.c"

    while executing

".x7fef6f4b8df0.c itemconfigure 7fef6d844200NUMBER -fill #000000 -text {+} "

    ("uplevel" body line 1)

    invoked from within

Sometimes, there is no time to see this message before Pd crashes out.

Sometimes, the patch launches and works perfectly(!)

This patch is working perfectly (without this symptom) on an M1 Mac with the same version of Pd.

Can anybody recognize anything from the error message?

Thanks,

Phil Stone

Davis, CA
