While enabling "view on parnet " max crashes


Steps to reproduce

Create a new patcher

Insert an (exisiting ) subpatcher

Go into the subpatcher , unlock subpatcher , then view inspector window

Enable view on parent tab : instant crash
If it doesn't crash directly , untick view on parent , then tick again

This is the subpacther you can try

Thanks for the report! I can confirm that there are some issues dynamically changing this value on abstractions while loaded by parent patchers on Windows. We'll look into it.

In the meantime the solution is to either open the abstraction without any parent patchers containing it, make the change, and save the file, or to use subpatchers in place of abstractions. Either of those should work without issues.
