When I try to add comments to my patch, the highlighted comment box appears miles to the right of the cursor sometimes off the side of the canvas. You often don't know whether they have actually worked, meaning you often find odd 'comment' comments scattered around your patch from when you couldn't find them previously!
perhaps your scroll position is a bit off, perhaps having selected verything and moved it over, or deleted things from the original 0x0-windowsize area during patching which is causing some kind of offset...
I usually work round this by copy and pasting an existing comment and changing the text.
On a side note: Are there plans for any kind of toolbar for PD so that you don't have to access the menu or remember the shortcuts? Perhaps one with the basic objects, messages etc, with sub menus where you can add your most used objects or something then, like in some coding apps, a kind of predictive type system that lets you chose from every available object once you start typing in it's name.
DesireData has a toolbar of frequently used objects, as well as name completions..in addition to a class browser, which could offer the object library under a rightclick menu if it doesn't already...cvs branch devel_0_39 , scons desire=1
