Hi,

I thought this might be helpful if someone runs into similar problems.

I have a number a small patches I made in August 2014 with the pd version at that time. Now I tried to open those patches on my current setup (Mac OS 10.14.1 Mojave, pd 0.49-1.64 bit). Most of those patches crashed on startup. Same result with the 32bit version and with pd 0.48-1 as well. Pd 0.47 and earlier do not run on Mojave, so I couldn't test. I was sure these patches worked in the past...

This is the crash log.

Application Specific Information:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Invalid parameter not satisfying: CGRectContainsRect(CGRectMake((CGFloat)INT_MIN, (CGFloat)INT_MIN, (CGFloat)INT_MAX - (CGFloat)INT_MIN, (CGFloat)INT_MAX - (CGFloat)INT_MIN), frame)'

abort() called

terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

The first line of one of the offending patches:

#N canvas 681 -998 1010 411 10;

The negative value piqued my interest. It comes from a setup with two monitors where monitor 2 is on top (north) of monitor 1. Whenever a patch is saved while on monitor 2, this value is negative and newer pd's crash opening the patch next time. More experimentation: creating a new patch and saving while it is on monitor 2 produces the same result.

Workaround: opening the patch with an editor and changing the value to a positive number lets pd open the patch normally.

Best,
