[crash report]: pipe + presentation_position

Send an int to a [pipe], and then to a presentation_position message that goes to any object. The crash only happens when [pipe] is involved.

Change this patch to presentation mode and click the message boxes. Max 5.0.2 on Intel Mac OS 10.5.2. Can anyone else confirm?

You have to use defer or deferlow with this kind of thing. We’ll be doing more to protect you from yourself in a future version.

Unfortunately it seems I need to use delay/pipe to work around some textedit issues (previously reported).

Looks like pipe + script move + thispatcher works fine, so I will use that.

Sorry if I keep finding difficult/unresolvable issues, it’s gotta be annoying. I have my problem patch working in Max 5 now, so no worries.

Here’s a slightly more Max 5 way of changing presentation position without using defer. The thispatcher object does the defer for you.
