seems the behaviour of list box is a bit weird... if I type "hey, wassup?", print gives me "list hey , wassup?". That is, the unescaped ',' character comes out as one of three elements and unescaped. That doesn't seem like a legal character, and it did blow up Pd when using my [else/display] abstraction.
It is different than having a message with "list hey , wassup?", which gets printed as such on the terminal window.
what do you people make of it?
cheers

Thanks for the link.
I've just closed this issue yesterday...
I see, I didn't check for closed issues.
I personally didn't encounter any problem with the new behavior.
I still cannot follow why it was changed in the first place (in 0.51). Either it was wrong all along before (up to 0.50), or what we have now is a regression.
I think it would be weird if the symbol atom hid the backslash while the list atom did not.
Actually, I find it weird now. Naturally, list atom and symbol atom would have different behaviour since space has a meaning for lists while it means nothing for symbols. For symbols it's simply a character like any other.
