i would say so, yes. after all, downgrading packages is not really supported. (the usual impliciation being, that configuration files will only be converted into one direction.) since i'm pretty convinced that your problem is not about the actual Pd-version, i'm going to spend approximately zero time to support downgrading if i'm not forced by some policy to do so). so rather than spending much time with downgrading the package, i would do other tests, like creating a new user and see whether the problem persists in the pristine account. (you also might want to consider adding the additional information requested in your sf ticket.) gfasmdr IOhannes
