This might be discussed before but I can't find it....

The blinking patch cord and the information in Max window are not 

displayed when I trace/step the patch that has metro object.

For example: toggle -> metro -> counter -> numberbox

I can trace/step well with the patch that has no metro.

For example: button -> counter -> numberbox

My environment is MaxMSP 4.5.7, Jitter 1.5.2, Mac OS X 10.4.6.

My problem is:
The blinking patch cord and the information in Max window are not  
displayed when I trace/step the patch that has metro object.
For example: toggle -> metro -> counter -> numberbox

I can trace/step well with the patch that has no metro.
For example: button -> counter -> numberbox

Your second approach is more appropriate for trace.

Normally metro will send bangs far faster than you can trace through 

all the messages triggered by a single bang. This may confuse the 

scheduler. Or maybe not, but it sure has confused me when trying to 

debug a patch. So I put a button next to my metro, connect it to the 

same object[s], use that for tracing. Once I'm sure the patch is 

correct, I remove the button and use the metro.

Trace/Step doesn't work fine?
