hi, dear list !
i am experiencing a strange problem with a freshly apt-get installed PD on a new Raspberry PI.
whenever i am opening a new patch, the window appears with its menubar above the vertical 0 position, meaning i can't touch the window and drag it to a usable position. the only (extremely annoying) workaround is to right-click the window and "move" the window to a central position every time i open a new patch.
i never experinced this beheaviour before, did anybody here ?
btw: i just did a full upgrade of raspbian jessie and also tried hiding the taskbar, no success
any help appreciated
cheers

I get the same on Debian Wheezy amd64 running LXDE but not on Ubuntu or WIndows, so I think it has to do with the window manager.

Hello,
This is an old (2012) problem - weird that it's reappeared?
Anyhow - fix (I think) in here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.puredata.general/90949
Also, if you have a qwerty keyboard attached you can make use of the option key & pointer to pull the window around.
Regards,
Julian

It could be a overscan problem. In Raspbian there is a config.txt file in boot.
#overscan_left=24
#overscan_right=24
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16
disable_overscan=1
Try "disable_overscan=0" or change the border values to what gives you a full screen without going over.

Correction sorry:
"Also, if you have a qwerty keyboard attached you can make use of the option key & pointer to pull the window around."
That of course should be alt-click not option-click
Ingo's fix makes more sense anyway (without firing up the rpi and checking)

Hello all (long time lurking here),
When I came across this problem in 2012, a hack similar to the linked pdtk_canvas.tcl solution fixed things.
I encountered the same problem with a fresh install more recently, and was loathed to go digging for the solution - I gave up too easily and went playing with sonic pi instead! So I am happy to see this thread which reignites plans for touch screen musicking!
Here's what I am here to add:
When changing the Raspbian configure.txt make sure to look through the whole file to check for multiple instances of the disable_overscan line.
Hope that helps someone

Hey Sam! Great to hear you're lurking:) I think it was our first go's on your Pi when we encountered this.
Can I ask what RPi model's this is with and which version of Raspbian?
While we can sort hacks for Pd it should presumably be an O.S./W.M. fix.
I've never encountered this problem on various debian wheezy installs but that's with xfce not lxde.

hi, small update:
for whatever reason, my recently "apt-get installed" puredata was version 0.43 (how so ?)
i manually installed 0.46 and voilà: problem gone !
cheers

On Raspbian Jessie you should get puredata 0.46.2 with apt-get install. Check what info you get with command 'apt-cache show puredata'. If it shows another version than 0.46.2, something may be wrong with your repository settings, which could affect other packages too.

Debian/wheezy shipped Pd-0.43-2 Debian/jessie ships Pd-0.46-2
so if perchance you are using a Raspbian version that is older than two years, it might come without unsurprise that you see the problems from back then...:-)

yeah, i already thought so.
it was a customized image to meet the specs of touchscreen i just bought. didn't realize that the raspbian version was still wheezy after all upgrading.
changed to jessie now.
sorry for the confusion
