Sorry for the lack of precisions, but I can’t reproduce the problem. It just happened. I first thought it was related to pattrstorage as well since it happened when having to save the xml file, but it does not seem to be consistent neither. I’m on Mac, last OS, last Max, if it helps.

The only time I have ever experienced anything like what you describe was when I accidentally created a stack overflow that occurred upon launch. I had to edit the max text to remove the problem but this also created issues similar to what you describe.

What I am getting at I suppose is – Is there anything that you may have done to cause it – if it is a one off?

mm… Ok. At least it’s good to know I’m not the only one in this case. I’ll avoid embedding my patcher, then.
