seems like a bug in an external, are you using any GUI externals?

Argh, the last line got chopped from the error message, sorry; here it is in full:

Hello all,

I have installed Pd 0.52-2 on a mid-2015 Intel MacBook, and sporadically, loading a particular (complex) patch produces the following error in the console:

(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x7fef6f4b8df0.c"

while executing

".x7fef6f4b8df0.c itemconfigure 7fef6d844200NUMBER -fill #000000 -text {+} "

("uplevel" body line 1)

invoked from within

Sometimes, there is no time to see this message before Pd crashes out.

Sometimes, the patch launches and works perfectly(!)

This patch is working perfectly (without this symptom) on an M1 Mac with the same version of Pd.

Can anybody recognize anything from the error message?

Thanks,

Phil Stone

Davis, CA

Yes, many, including tof/pmenu and others. I guess I’ll have to remove them and re-add them one-by-one to find which one it is. I was hoping the error message might contain a clue I didn’t recognize.

Well, you get the error message to start with. Search all the binaries for a string like "NUMBER -fill" and you should be able to narrow down the culprit.

At a quick glance I would guess, that some object tries to update it's GUI representation on a canvas that is currently hidden, which might also help narrowing down...
