Hi pd-list,
if I give a canvas a label including a #, it shows a $ instead

it's the way it is currently implemented: guiobjects internally use
# to represent $ (to bypass Pd's (and probably tcl's) expansion
mechanism).
therefore all # are replaced by $.
you could consider this as a bug (though i think it's unlikely to
get "fixed" anytime...soon).
I am curious, what are the barriers to fixing it? If someone came up
with a better way to represent $, then I don't really see a problem
with fixing that. There won't be backwards compatibility issues since
the $ is saved in the patch instead of the #. Do you really think
that anyone has written some crazy kludge that relies on # being
converted into $ on the canvas label?

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
