Still in OS X 10.6. I don't have one of these problems with Pd-devel-0.43 (dec 15) nightly build, so it must all be because of the tk/cocoa version that you mention. I'm not sure how to report it a tcl mailing list, as I don't know where the code is that implements these things.
Does it make sense that the arrow keys are detected differently in Tk/Cocoa, so they are just sent to pd's gui C code as spaces? As for the text color issue in the audio settings, you'll have to point me towards what is controlling that. I'll send you a screenshot after this email. Do you know how I can force configure to use Tcl/Tk 8.5.7/Carbon? I'll use the nightly build in the meantime and let you know what comes up. -rich On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 4:40 AM, Hans-Christoph Steiner <[email protected]>wrote: > > First off, which platform?
