probably an easy question, but somehow I am missing it. I have a patcher with quite some UI elements, when disabling Edit and Presentation mode, everything works fine.

When switching to Presentation view, the UI elements don't react anymore to my mouse actions. Strangely, there is one button which still works.

Sorry for the weird problem description, hoping there is an obvious solution without going into the specifics of the patch.

Just due to my clunky frontend design, working with multiple bpatchers which are partly overlapping and therefore restrict background elements from responding.

lesson learnt: make bpatchers not bigger than the presentation of the underlying patch.

can you provide a patch? maybe you have some transparent objects on top of

can you provide a patch? maybe you have some transparent objects on top of
your other objects...

Note, Max 5 has a new bpatcher feature -- "Click Through". Check "click through" in the bpatcher inspector and then any clicks on "dead space" in the bpatcher will go through to whatever is behind it.

no interface manipulation in presentation view ?
