As is *always* the case in situations like this:

Do you have to do anything mysterious to the help

Assuming we're looking at the same help files, I

don't see anything like what you describe.

What platform are you using?
What OS version?
What version of Max are you running?
Do you have to do anything mysterious to the help
file to get this to happen? If so, what?

Assuming we're looking at the same help files, I
don't see anything like what you describe.


it looks as if the bang would bang continually (stay lit), when in 

reality its rather a thing with an un-updated display of the bang.

Unfortunately, after I restarted my computer it stopped. I will write

I am using OS X Leopard.
I am using Max 5.0.2
I am using a MacBook Pro

Unfortunately, after I restarted my computer it stopped. I will write
back when I can reproduce reliably. It appears that one other user is
having a similar problem now, Hans.

Emmanuel, as is *always* the case in situations like this, which
platform can't you reproduce on?

Both in max 4 and 5 buttons will stay lit, with slightly different behavior. In 4 you have to click the mouse once in order have another ui object respond; the button would go *off*. In 5 other ui objects will work on the first click, but button stays lit.

A patcher that creates a lit button is one attached to opendialog. I have experienced this since several years on a number of mac os's.

the opendialog issue with button has been fixed for the next update.

[unpack] bangs left on?
