disappearing 'options'

jamie jewett's icon

ok

this is really strange but I keep having the last third of the pull down menu 'options' disappear...

I get down to save dialog shows location

then DSP status and that's it - no file path etc....

I can't tell you if I'm missing other stuff - this is what I have noticed...

I have re installed max/msp/jitter 3x and deleted my preferences - the com.cycling74.MaxMSP46.plist file

and everything seems fine initially and then in a matter of 5 minutes I loose the option of my options...

what gives?

any suggestions?

thanks Jamie
