I saw it quite recently.
A student showed me a patch where objects kept disappearing. IIRC it would have been on a Mac with OSX 10.6 running whatever was the extended release available end October 2010
I said is was probably a graphics bug and to reinstall. AFAIK it went away.
This is pure superstition and folklore, but I'm sure it had something to do with using [knob] objects. Just a feeling in my bones.

Randomly disappearing boxes, and generally, canvas appearance that stops reflecting canvas content — wasn't that a big WINDOWS®-only bug in Pd a few years ago ? No idea what the problem was. Does that still happen to anyone ?
I've used Pd 99,9999% of my time in windows, and don't ever remember that happening.
Since what year ?
I think it was a fairly long time ago, although I do have a vague memory of having seen the problem much later and having been surprised, but that might have been simply because someone was using a very old version.
My guess is that it was something that got fixed in Pd 38 or so (2004), but that's a bit of a wild guess.
