#130 hid misses lots of keyboard events on Intel Mac

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Using Pd-0.39.2-extended-test7 on a MacBook Pro 17", [hid] misses most keyboard events. This works fine on my Powerbook G4.

Can anyone else with an Intel Mac confirm this?

I don't know [hid], but i ripped of hid/keybord-help.pd to make a test pd patch. I sent it [open 0(, then it gives me a lot of working keys. Might be all keys. It works up to 5 (letter) keys at the same time.

Attached is the test patch.

Platform is Macbook Intel Dual Core (that's the first generation) OS X.4.9

this seems to be fixed now in Pd-extended 0.40.3-20080502, but I don't think I changed anything. Perhaps Apple fixed some bugs :)
