Hi Folks,
Only starting in 0.56-1, whenever I move my mouse cursor, I'm getting audio glitching that corresponds to the mouse movement as it moves across the PD Canvas. Ironically, this is just when hovering the mouse over the canvas and moving it. If I pick up a GOP subpatch and drag it, the audio glitching goes away! If I move the mouse outside of the PD Canvas, it also goes away. I'm running on an old Core 2 duo 6300 laptop (8gb RAM) with a reasonably complicated patch (takes about 10 seconds to load), but adding any other apps in the background doesn't seem to affect it in any way. Increasing audio delay or audio block size settings has no effect either. PD's DPS block size always stays at 64. I tried recreating the preferences file as well. Ruled out a USB Mouse and a USB Hub and all MIDI devices as well. Those don't seem to matter.
Running latest Manjaro with XFCE desktop (X11) with pd 0.56-1, and using Pipewire (JACK)
0.55-1 still works great and has none of these symptoms under the same conditions. Both versions are compiled, ie. not using the pd packaged with Manjaro.
Because of the behavior above, it leads me to think something has changed with either PD or TCL...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Only starting in 0.56-1, whenever I move my mouse cursor, I'm getting audio glitching that corresponds to the mouse movement as it moves across the PD Canvas.
Does it only happen if the canvas contains many objects or many GOPs? Or does it also happen with an empty canvas?
What's the CPU usage of the "pd" process and the "wish" process when you're moving the mouse?

It's not new! I had this some weeks ago and I'm still using 0.49.
I had showing a very large patch with lots of sub patches in a patch above. Once I removed the top level it was gone.

I had a very large patch with lots of sub patches showing in a patch above for making it look better. Once I removed the top level it was gone.
