There's a longstanding problem with the way number boxes grab keyboard input (by binding themselves to a symbol, related to the "receive set" bug people were just talking about.) I'm going to fix it but it will require changing the way "key" events are dispatched in g_canvas.c.

Hi,

I can reproducably crash PD 0.35 Linux with numberboxes (nbx) in graph-on-parent abstractions.

It occurs in gop-abstractions with at least two nbxes, when I do the following:

1. Type something into one of them, but don't end the typing with RETURN.
2. Type something into another nbx and end it with RETURN.

==> PD crashes.

Try for yourself with the attached crashit.pd patch.

Any ideas, what might be the cause?

[Regarding nbx-objects: It would be nice, if they could be moved with the cursor keys like the other GUI objects.]
