<p>Hey guys</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In Vanilla, spaces are rudely replaced with
underscores inside the labels for canvas and other GUI
objects. It looks like you've figured out a more
elegant solution with L2Ork, where the spaces get a
backslash in the .pd file and hence are allowed to
pass into the patch.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>This is great, but it's creating a small conflict
with other distributions, as you get a Tcl error if
you try to draw the properties menu for the given
object in Vanilla. I'm attaching a small patch for
demonstration. Under certain circumstances, the
conflict also seems to prevent other of the object's
properties from loading. I discovered the problem like
this, although I have been unable to reproduce it
since then, so I don't know what the conditions are.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I will offer that the non breaking space could be
used to solve this problem. It simulates a space
inside a label and works in Vanilla patches without
any problem.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>For reference, I'm on L2Ork 20160530 and Vanilla
0.47.</p>
