when scripting a variable inside a bpatcher, using "script var show" /

"script var hide" -> thispatcher there are 2 problems:

- the scripted object gets drawn completely, without considering the

bpatchers dimensions. So if it sticks out it gets drawn outside the bpatcher

- layering is gone. If the named variable is covered by other objects (like

a panel background) it gets drawn at the top layer, covering everything.

using javascript I've always run into the following bug:

- scripting new (non-ui) objects inside an abstraction with the patcher

window closed, draws all of the object text in the wrong place (on top

of everything else) This only occurs the first time when you open the window

of the abstraction that just scripted the objects. If you script the same

objects inside a subpatcher, or in the same abstraction but with it's window

opened at scripting time, everything is fine.

- The same goes for setting the object.rect[x, x, x, x] attribute when

scripting. It only works when creating objects in a subpatcher or when the

I hope I'm being clear...otherwise I'll make example patches.
