Also notice that [flatspace/entry] has a nice cursor associated with resizing.
Noted. I will look into this once bug hunt is over. Thanks for the tip!
Another solution: you can also place a checkbutton labeled "Edit mode" directly on the menubar.
Yes, except personally I would prefer to keep the pd window as clean as possible.
Also, since we're talking about the menu changes: Since there is a "Find" menu, I think the "Edit" menu can be shortened by removing "Find", "Find again", and "Find last error".
Done. This will be included in the next tarball (even though it goes against Msft/Apple design guidelines.
Best wishes,
