Hello Adam,

This crashed PD on my Windows XP machine too.

I followed the 5 steps you outlined and "Consistency check failed: glist_findrtext" crashed PD.

Having said that, this is the only time that I've ever performed those 5 actions in precisely that sequence!

Regards, Dave S

Hi Miller,

I'm seeing a fairly consistent crasher on the Mac, using a freshly- squeezed pd-0.36-test9.

1. create two objects
2. connect them
3. start changing the destination object by typing into it
4. stop typing mid-word (so that the name wouldn't be a legal object)
5. press undo

sometimes it's a bus error, sometimes it's a segfault. Once or twice, an odd clone of the source object was created. Once, I got a slightly more helpful error: "Consistency check failed: glist_findrtext".

Does this appear on NT or Linux?

I tried to find the source of Frank's Text Editor non-function, but once I reached g_editor.c::canvas_key, I realised there's a whole lot I don't understand about certain of Pd's internals. :)

But in looking at it, I learned that--at least in the current version of Tcl/Tk MacOSX--we're not getting keysyms from the arrow keys. That explains a couple things that Ryan mentioned earlier. I have a simple hack for the end of canvas_key that helps move objects around on the canvas. (Was planning on throwing it at CVS tomorrow morning.)
