Toggling fullscreen breaks jit.pwindow in a bpatcher

I encountered this behavior and thought I'd post it here. I have a jit.pwindow that is rendering some jit.gl.gridshapes. Then I put the whole assembly in into a bpatcher.

Now I want to give my user the option to run the whole patch in fullscreen or windowed mode. But when I toggle fullscreen, my pwindow inside a bpatcher breaks.

Max Patch

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

If the pwindow is in the top level patch it survives the transition to fullscreen just fine.

Max Patch

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

It looks like an easy workaround for my case will be to get screen size and then set the window size to the screensize. But I thought it might be useful to mention this. Max is great! Thank you. :)

i am using custom fullscreen only, for a number of reasons.

but did you try to "; max refresh" the situation yet?

I went ahead and built my alternative this afternoon, which is working like a charm.

But for the fun of it, I just tried "; max refresh" but that didn't seem to help.

Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

hell, it doesnt even comes back when you leave fullscreen.

p.s.: but it also happens the other way round. if you paste the patch in a fullscreenwindow it works, then stops to work if you go out.

hi Joe, can you provide OS, Max version, gl engine, and GPU specs?

Your initial patch works fine for me on Mac-tel
