hello,
it sounds a bit like float numbers are converted to strings with german
localisation applied to the string formatting.
maybe your localisation setting switches during your session, causing
the change in behaviour.
just guessing though.
best,

Hi, dear list !
I'm growing slightly desperate as i recently encountered a weird bug
in PD 0.55-2 on a
LUUNTU 24 system that i can't seem to track down no matter what i try.
Here's the outline:
After a while of working on a patch, without any reason or
reproducable scenario,
PD starts to save patches converting commas to colons.
Re-opening such a "wrong formatted" patch of course produces a lot of
errors, f.e. in message boxes that i use for loadbang stuff.
So, something like:
[;
foo 0.0345;
bar 4.567;
me 0.001;(
becomes just
[;
foo 0(
omitting all the rest of the message
And i get an error in the console:
canvas: no method for 'float'
Repairing such patches of course is a long and cumbersome drag
(because it's not immediately noticeable when this bug starts to kick
in, only on patch re-opening).
=====================================================================================
My patch is very big and involved (has lots of abstractions), so i
won't post it here.
First i thought it had something to do with an abstraction that used
data structures quite heavily, which occasionally threw some errors.
But i already removed that part from my patch. I am using a lot of
"write" and "read" stuff in my patch (mostly [text]s, but also
.fxp/.vstpreset files with [vstplugin~]. I can't seem to find any
weird stuff going on in my patch that could lead to this bug.
I have never experienced this before and i am beginning to think that
either my computer or my system is messed up. But just before i throw
it out of the window: Has anyone any idea what's going on here ? Or
experienced something similar to this ?
Best
Oliver
