Weird behavior of panel

Hi all,

Facing an issue with trying to set bgfillcolor of a panel to make it blink when a text zone is pressed:
Here is the subpatcher that does the blink:

BlinkMe

And here is what happens from time to time when I click the tex triggering element (bangs from 0 to 1):

???

It seems that the panel is NOT updated until the mouse hovers it, which is an unexpected behavior...
Any similar experience or clue ?
Thanks !

Interesting. Please use "Copy Compressed" and paste relevant code in your post, that's much easier to try and help you.
I can't reproduce what you describe (I'm on Mac). I used this test patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

i know two situations where graphics eventually might not update in time; while the mouse os down on the object which shows the graphics, or when the mouse is down and its output is moved into high priority, like in your patch.

however i have never seen that something only updates only after mouseover. :)

here is what i use.

Maybe some weird side effect, the issue has lasted for like 2 days, but seems to be gone this morning, though I have not exitted Max or Live at all. Very weird... A GPU glitch, don't know if this is some OpenGL refreshing that was stuck somewhere, but it seems fixed for now... I'll report if it happens again.
BTW, your patch works without any issue (with no surprise here).
Thanks for taking the time anyway !
