Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: puredata Group: v0.42 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Matteo Sisti Sette (sistisette) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) >Summary: square bracket in label prevent opening properties dialog Initial Comment: If you set the label of a tgl, slider, number box or whatever gui object to anything containing a "[" character (without a matching "]" character), the properties dialog won't open any more when right-clicking on the object and choosing "properties". That is, for example: 1) create a toggle (or bang, or number box, or slider, .....) 2) Rightclick on it and choose Properties 3) In the "label" field, type any name containing an opening square bracket [ 4) Click OK -> This will apparently work: the square bracket will show up as label 5) Rightclick on the object and try to choose Properties ---> the properties dialog won't open. Workaround to be able to edit the properties without having to destroy and recreate the object: connect a message box to the inlet of the object and send it a [label( object to clear its label. Then the properties dialog will work again. A closing ] won't cause problems, and a [] ()has funny behaviors (try it!) The dialog should not let you type any character that is not legal; when set through messages, invalid labels should be either ignored or cause an error message to be print. I tested only on Windows Vista ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478070&aid=2946849&group_id=55736 _______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
