I submitted a bug report several years ago about not being able to drag nested
elements after dragging a parent. I think Ivica may have fixed it in Pd-l2ork
because I can drag the nested elements after moving the parent, so it's an
issue in Pd-extended and Pd-vanilla.

is it possible to click/drag all nested elements only in pd-l2ork? Or you mean
move the whole nested array upwards/downwards? The latter I can do as well, the
"top layer" was always accessible.
The selection problem is there when scalars are positioned outside of a GOP.
Although this isn't the case here, don't know if there's a connection between
both.

so it seems that nested elements "below the surface" are unreachable under this
gui? is it an issue with pd, tcl/tk, or both?
