hi,

i'm facing a bug (?) with the jweb object.
my patcher "opens in presentation", but the jweb object isn't included in presentation.

the thing is, i can see my jweb object in presentation !

see the attachment.

cheers.

The patch you posted works fine for me (i.e, jweb is correctly included in presentation). Max 5.0.6 ; OSX 10.4.11

that's the problem...

the jweb object in NOT included in presentation, but it's visible.

if you follow this procedure :

1 - unlock the patch
2 - switch to patching mode
3 - lock the patch
4 - switch to presentation mode

the jweb object will no longer appear...

Oh, yes, you're right!
It appears to be te same with the jweb help patch
(just have to open it and to switch to presentation mode).
You should send a bug report I think.

this is just the nature of the beast right now. jweb will always be the frontmost appearing object and will appear in both patching and presentation modes. I wouldn't expect this to change any time soon, if ever.

One workaround is to change the presentation rect to something exceptionally small.
