[L2Ork-dev] Trouble with toggles, bug ?

Having investigated this, I suspect this can be attributed to the
inefficiency of the tkpath toolkit and is likely due to profuse mouse
cursor change requests. While there are also issues in how those issues
should be filtered, I still believe the best thing is to wait until the
nw.js port is finished (which should be hopefully soon), at which point the
problem will solve itself. Otherwise, this may require foundational
improvements both to Pd and more importantly the toolkit.

One thing you can do to side-step this issue for the time being is by
arranging all toggles more tightly as to avoid having a single pixel
between toggles that tries to toggle cursor appearance for a split second.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Ico
