standalones open twice!?

hello,

every time i open a newly created standalone, the frontwindow (as well as the contained subs) opens twice. first i thought of some scripting problems caused by the patch, but it turned out that this happens in any case, even with small testpatches. by searching the forum i found the comments on period characters in patchnames that can cause this effect, but this doesnt seems to be the point in this case

i am using max 5.0.8 on OSX 10.5.8 on a macbook, but a try with max 4.6.3 (on the same machine) shows the same result….

any suggestions?

thanks!

just
