Exception when clicking into renderer - Step mode just works when patch window is active

[schlonzo]

hi all,

one of my nodes throws an error when I click into the stride renderer. F6 only works if the patch window is active. So when the error is thrown my renderer is active and I cant switch into step mode or pause. When I activate the patch window, switch into step mode, and click into the renderer my click is not recognised.

Is there an option like tty to show the error without having to hover over the violet node?

It sounds like you want to have a better debugging behavior or at least to be able to read the exception message?
Try to change a setting:

• RuntimePauseOnError: true
  Settings are in the main menu and have to be edited with a text editor as of now.
