That sounds like the same symptom as when there is an extra

What would it take to convince you to port your DD escaping code to
Pd 0.43? :-D :-D :-D
Do you realise that this escaping code relies on a massive change of
the GUI code ? You wouldn't need the whole set of DD's GUI changes
(no need to import DD's buggy parts, for example...) but it would be
a quite massive change.
Otherwise, you'd have to rewrite the escaping code so that it fits
in Pd 43.
Basically, IIRC, what happens is that DD saves spaces/backslashes/
braces/etc correctly to disk when within symbols. All versions of PD
are already equipped to load them correctly, but not to save them.
Then DD's GUI code uploads single lines of .pd files to the GUI side
and then the GUI side parses them correctly.
Note that apart from PD's C-based parser and DD's Tcl-based parser,
all other parsers that people have posted on pd-list and/or
puredata.info are incomplete parsers, as they can only parse what PD
can currently save, not what it can currently load.
My guess is that it'll have to be a combo of moving Pd 0.43 to the DD
approach and rewriting the DD code to fit into 0.43. It sounds like
you have 'pd-gui' saving the file using Tcl code. It should be
possible to port that saving code to C and have it part of 'pd', and
that would then fit into the existing code much easier.
Would the easiest first step be writing a single, complete escape
mechanism for the pd <--> pd-gui communications?
