while its pretty cool that you can arbitrarily embed subpatches into their container to unlimited? depth, theres some serious bugs that are driving me crazy trying to actually use this feature. the tutorial posted to this list pretty recently "GOP done right" basically says 'fiddle with things, and if its still messed up, fiddle some more'. well ive fiddled and cant get past these 2 things:
http://replic.net/~ix/pd/gui/GOP-fuxed.PNG
the problem on the upper left side is cosmetic, so let's ignore it. each subpatch is like 8x as tall as it should be, and no amount of overriding with pixel specifications change this. but since it has no efefct on the functionality of the widgets, lets move to the right,
where the gui objects are like, 150 pixels above where they should be, and unless they fit inside the black bounding box, mouse actions have no effect. if you right click and open, you can see its scrolled down about that far, 150. but scrolling back up and saving does nothing, even after saving and/or reloading the container... is there a trick here? or is something just fuxed..
btw this is wiht CVS HEAD version of PD as of a week or two ago...

Are you actually talking about "subpatches" or rather abstractions?

It's not clear to me how this is supposed to be. Could you maybe post a patch somewhere?
With GOP, IMO it's really helpful, if not necessary for the user, to have a background-cnv to really get the dimensions right. Then you can read out the x and y width and height specs from the cmv-object and work around most of the fiddling. It really becomes more a matter of math then.

I guess, you moved those objects into the area on top of the patch's top border once in the past, right? (If you right-click a slider, the menu then is also misplaced, yes?) Then Pd gets the coordinates wrong and all hell breaks loose, as you saw.
There should be a way to fix this with editing the coordinates in the patch, but IMO it's easier to just start from scratch, create a [cnv] first and follow the instructions in my little tutorial. (I don't see a [cnv] in sp-mini!) Using background cnv'es minimizes the amount of required fiddling drastically, trust me. ;)

thanks for the reply..this part definitely helped me figure it out. you can fix the offset by selecting all..and sliding into wherever the patch decided to scroll the view to upon opening (proably 0,0)...
