Hi,
just tried my (bad) luck on a new Windows 11 machine, and found the [menubutton] external of the TOF library to produce an (i guess) TK error.
i have the latest PD (0.53.2) and the latest TOF version (0.4.2.)
when i open the helppatch for [menubbutton] i can clear and fill the menu but as soon as I select something from it, i get a (red) error message in the console:
menubutton0000021392f40970: no such object
It seems to be Tk related, doesn't it ?
For backtracking, i tried older versions of PD (on the W11 machine), and according to this, the error starts with version 0.52.
With PD 0.51, [menubutton] works.
I already files a bug report at Fred-Jan's github site, but just for the record: has anybody else experienced this ?

Hi Oliver,
This look a bit like a 32/64 bit issue. For Windows both versions exist for Pd and also for the tof library. Are all the Pd versions the same word-size and it matches the tof-word-size?
It might also be a change in the Pd (non-public)-API, but it is good to eliminate other possible causes.
Greetings,
Fred Jan

I don't quite get what you mean with "word-size"
Anyway, i'm using 64bit versions of PD since 0.50. I double checked that my installed PD 0.53 is the 64-bit version. And W11 is 64 bit only anyway.
As for TOF, there were only 4 possibillities to download with deken for my platform (amd64-32).
versions 0.2.1 - 0.2.4. (the latest). i tried all of them, no difference. everyone produces the reported error.
(i couldn't really find a 32bit version in the deken list)
It might also be a change in the Pd (non-public)-API, but it is good to eliminate other possible causes.
Hasn't there been a new TK version lately ?
To me it really feels like a TK-related issue, it's written in red in the PD console.
BTW: [pmenu] works fine !

Nah. The (supposed) problem is, that something changed in the way Pd send messages to TclTk. That's unrelated to the actual Tk version.
And indeed I refactored the Pd<->GUI communication. This should not affect GUI-externals that do all the communications by themselves, but those that use *some* helpers and assume a certain format might be affected.
To me it really feels like a TK-related issue, it's written in red in the PD console.
Well that just means that TclTk couldn't make sense of what it is being told (eg you are accessing a non-existing "tag", because the actual name of the tag has changed)
