[maxmsp] Re: Max5: [hover] bug report + feature request

As for the patch you supplied, the problem is that hover does not know about objects who are set to ignore mouse clicks when a patcher is locked, so it does not report anything when the mouse is over the panel. In order to work around this problem, in the next update I taken your suggestion and added two new outlets to hover so you can find out the name of the object the mouse has just left as well as the name of the object the mouse enters. We might ultimately fix the ignore click issue -- we fixed it for the hint object -- but I think you'll find the exit trigger is a better approach.
