I'm having issues understating the reason why this patch works like it does.

Spoiler: does [dict.pack] retains records indefinitely? And if so, how can I erase its content?

Dict.pack creates a dictionary, so the dictionary that was being cleared was different from the dictionary that dict.pack created. So, the contents that were inputed remained in the dictionary that dict.pack created.

To erase the content, you must be working with a single dictionary. I used the [name] message to dict.pack to name the dictionary "NameDictionary" and then named [dict NameDictionary] so that the clear messages erase the contents. I've attached a patch, and you will need to click on the [name] message set up for it to work.

You're welcome! I am glad I could help. Good luck with your patching!
