Ok, new version is now up that should fix this and other issues in respect to core pd. I will work on zexy aliases next to offset the loss of flatspace. Now that I've isolated offending aliases This should be fairly easy.

Cheers!

You're simply hiding the bug:

1. With the Properties dialogue open, go back and click somewhere

on the patch to deselect the iemgui. (Btw-- there are times when this behavior is convienent, so please don't make the Properties dialogue force focus.) 2. Click "Ok". 3. Still crashes.

No crash in Pd-vanilla 0.43.

That is because (afaik) vanilla 0.43 does not have apply undo at all. In other words apply actions that result from properties are simply ignored.

In my case the way I am tracking items in undo is I seek selected items which now I realize is not the most robust way of doing so. That said, I did not make this fix to "hide the bug" but rather for the sake of consistency because I believe one needs to be in edit mode to edit, and getting properties for an object, particularly when there are many crammed near each other I believe one needs to select the item to reflect what they've selected, and then do operations that pertain to editing. I believe that allowing to edit items in this way while not in edit mode is essentially a bug from a usability perspective as it erases differentiation between performance (or whatever you will call it) and editing mode.

All that said, I need to reconsider how to deal with undo and I have a pretty good idea now what needs to be done (e.g. by passing obj pointer to the undo in addition to the canvas pointer)...
