Hello,

I'm working on a patch in which I inserted some comments.
Each time I load the patch, I have, on two sub-patches, 3 to 5 extra fields of comment, useless, written "comment" that appear. If I erase them, they don't appear anymore during the session, but the next time I will open my pd file, they will be here - thus each time I have to erase them manually...

Can you help me in fixing this probelm ?

My configuration :
iMac, Mac OSX 10.6.8
Pure data : 0.42.5 - extended

Thanks a lot !

bye

Do you erase letters one by one, or when they are highlighten in gray?
Try to select the comment _objects_, and when the letters are blue, press backspace.

I erase by selecting the whole comment - it gets highlighted in full blue, then I hit backspace yes...

I experienced this when deleting only the text from comments. For analogies: like keeping the little empty red dashed box of an empty object or an empty message box. Then, on next start, the unvisible empty comment object would appear filled with "comment". Sorry to insist, but are you 101% shure this is not your case?

Select the comment by using a drag-and-select box, like you would use to select multiple objects. Then, instead of the text being highlighted, it will just turn blue. Delete, and it will be gone for good.

Hi,

uuuuh I'm ashamed, looks like you were right ! sorry for this "stupid" question.
Yes by selecting via drag-and-select box it is fixed.
(damned, I tried maybe 20 times )

Thanks a lot !

no such thing as a stupid question.

you'd be surprised how many people have the same trouble and search the archives to find this thread.

yeah that got me too...
