A scope~ in one window can interfere with rendering of a subpatch or abstraction window

[jamshark70]

1. Plugdata.
2. New patch.
3. Add a [scope~].
4. Add a [pd test].
5. Ctrl-click the [pd] box to open its canvas.
6. Switch it to run mode (ctrl-E).
7. Switch it back to edit mode (ctrl-E).

The edit mode background should be (dark) gray with an alignment grid. Instead, most of the canvas is black and only a small rectangle in it draws correctly. (Using the light theme, there's still a lot of black on the canvas.)

This happens when switching to edit mode. As above, a new [pd] box opens in edit mode and I didn't see the issue in that case. It does happen when opening a patch from disk, and opening a subpatch within that.

This problem does not occur if there's no [scope~] in the parent window. [spectrograph~] shows the same issue.

It seems to be a purely cosmetic issue -- I haven't seen any functional problems with this -- just, unnerving (it superficially has the appearance of being crashy, though it probably isn't).

I initially logged this on the else library, but since the issue is plugdata only, the advice was to open it over here.

We've had similar reports, but I cannot reproduce this using your steps.

Can you give more details about your setup?

• plugdata version
• operating system version and architecture
• any other details that might be relevant (gpu?)
