Somehow my patch data got corrupted. When I removed pattrstorage and was

able to open my patch again, I noticed a numberbox somewhere way up in max

heaven. Try to open this patch, and unlock it. You'll see a cord going

somewhere you can't reach. Selecting or clicking the cord makes max crash.

Since I cannot select it, I cannot past it in here, so only for the

mailinglist people. I think if we do a contest, this one scores pretty high

...how am I gonna get this one nrbox out of a large patch, if I can't select

O the fix was easy ofcourse.. open as text and fix coordinates. It was set

to 15850 -29143 -15498 for its position...

I was able to recover the numbox. Save the patch as text format 

(mxt), and notice the huge numbers for its graphic coordinates,

I was able to recover the numbox. Save the patch as text format  
(mxt), and notice the huge numbers for its graphic coordinates,  
change them :)

open with max, choose "Save as..." and save as textfile. Now you can 

open the textfile with a normal text editor and it looks like this:

that's your numberbox. You can edit the values here to move it back to 

where it belongs to. The first two values are X Y coordinates, don't

known about the 3rd.

The fix is fine but the question is: how could this happen?

The font encoding has been discussed numerous times on the list, but 

it's been a while. If someone feels inclined to describe it, feel

A cosmic ray? Like in the belgian computer based elections where 

recently in one village, there were 4096 more votes than electors.

There may be many cosmic rays in the benelux...
