[symbol\

[label $1(

[cnv]

my [cnv] has no inlets so IOhannes's solution applies.

According to Ivica this is on purpose. The reason is that iemguis used
to have miscalculated positions and pd-l2ork fixed that while
pd-vanilla/pd-extended didn't. Unfortunately, this breaks compatibility
between pd-l2ork and pd-vanilla/pd-extended.

I'm seeing a tiny bit more complication here (in l2ork):
- when trying to place [hsl] close to the GOP area edges, it disappears from GOP (as said before)
- when trying to place [cnv] close to the GOP area edges (in a fairly large GOP area) everything is fine, however:
- when trying to fit a 10px high [cnv] into a 12px high GOP area, the [cnv] refuses to show up in GOP.
