I'm in between Linux boxes at present. Unfortunately I'm having some issues with Number objects in v0.49.0 on Windows. Specifically, I cant enter values almost all the time. Only Ctrl-LMB allows me to scroll values up and down. Double clicking worked once as specified in the tutorial I'm doing, but I'm not sure how to reproduce that success.
Are there any known issues for this version on this platform?
Thanks

I'm on Windows and don't have any such issues... Which Windows version?
Ctrl-LMB allows me to scroll values up and down
Ctrl shouldn't have any effect. Simply drag your mouse to change the value and use the Shift key for fine steps (0.01)
Double clicking worked once as specified in the tutorial I'm doing,
no need to double click, a single click should be enough.
which number box object are you talking about? Number or Number2? Or both?
Note that when you click on 'Number2', the number turns red (to show you that you can enter a new value) but 'Number' doesn't give such visual clue (it probably should...)

risking to state something obvious: if you need to press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> while dragging the mouse to change numbers, then you are currently in "Edit" mode. however, in "Edit" mode, you usually cannot interact with a number-box to change the value it holds. you need to switch to "Run" mode (<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>E</kbd>; pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> *temporarily* switched to "Run" mode, that's why it's working).

i don't know which tutorial you are doing, but i also don't know what a double click on a number-box is supposed to do *at all*.

:-o using Pd for years and I haven't known this feature...

Ok. Thanks.
I can edit a number in run mode - but I cant edit it in edit mode.
Hmm.

Weirdly enough, Pd runs both in "Run" mode and in "Edit" mode. hmm.
"Editing" means: changing the patch. "Running" means: interacting with a patch in a way that doesn't change it's structure.
think of it as in: you are not "editing" a number, but you are "changing" a value.

Ok. Thanks for that clarification.

just to chime in here, i'm on a Mac and i noticed that i can't enter in a number manually while in Run mode on 0.49 either (Edit mode is no problem, though). i can use the mouse to change the number by clicking and dragging, and holding down Shift while doing it allows decimal adjustment. but it doesn't seem possible to edit the contents of a number box by double clicking and typing a new number while in Run mode. i thought i remembered this being possible in earlier versions but maybe this is intended behavior? clarification appreciated!
best, scott

"double clicking"? I don't remember that this had any meaning in Pd for the last 20 years. so i guess your memories betray you in this regard (and/or you are talking about some "other software")
however, you should be able to simply (single-)click on a numberbox, type your number (even though - as christoph has pointed out - you don't get any visual feedback that you are supposed to type; just type away) and hit <kbd>Enter</kbd>, in order to set it to some value. if this didn't work, i lots and lots of people would have complained before the actual release. (there are people who compile development versions of Pd and actually *use* them on all major platforms).
