LCD transparency issue (Max 5)
We're having trouble with LCD transparency issues. If we add an LCD object and put a check in "transparent background" it does not change the way it functions in the patcher window. There is an example of a transparent LCD in the help screen, which can be copied and pasted into another patcher ... and that works fine. But what's also odd is that you cannot turn transparency "off" in that LCD. Sure you can uncheck the box, but that seems to have no effect on the way the LCD functions in the patcher itself. We experienced the same thing on two completely different models of computers -- both Macs (G4 10.4.11 and Intel-powered Macbook Pro running 10.5.6
Is this a bug?
After changing you need to send a clear message to LCD. Does that help for you?

Yep! That does it. Thanks!!!!
Never occurred to me, since we weren't actually drawing with it ... just using it for idle mouse tracking over a picture.
You could probably use a [mousestate] set to mode 1 with a little less overhead than an LCD, and you get more control over when it updates.
