<![CDATA[Graph on Parent error]]>Hi

I've been making a set of menus for a general MIDI set and have encountered a problem. The menus are graph-on-parent - When I open the subpatch, most of it gets wiped and I get the following error:

(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x251b1e8.c.s25840b8.menu"
while executing
".x251b1e8.c.s25840b8.menu delete 0 end "
("uplevel" body line 50)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmds_from_pd"

Any insights on why this might be happening, and what I can do to get around it? I've attached the offending part of the patch - open the subpatch and you should get the same error

Thanks

Some sort of GUI issue I take it. If you select all, copy and paste to a new window, the code returns. Odd

Left outlet of [popup] sends a bang on startup - I didn't realise. I take it that having 16 conflicting messages sent at the same time was causing it to crash
