Default WALTER Inconsistency, what have I missed?

I've been experimenting with some WALTER and trying to build up some layouts from scratch (as per the manual).

All was working as expected until I came to add tcp.recarm regardless of what edge attachment I used I couldn't get it to move with the other buttons (which had the same edge attachment coordinates).

Virtually by chance I found that if I have an additional variable for recarm (eg w>120) at the beginning of the line then the edge attachment works as expected.

Is this how it's supposed to be?

Cheers,
Child

Yes, on a very simple line the fallback WALTER remains active. From the manual (p21):

In most circumstances you would be providing your own logic (e.g. putting in a w>blah comparison) somewhere in the line, and that would tell WALTER that you were taking charge of the logic, thankyouverymuch. But if your line is very, very simple and something unexpected is happening, you may need to tell WALTER that, yes, you do really mean it to be that simple. An ‘always’ comparison will do that for you. Just put one in and you’ll be telling WALTER “stop being clever, clear the logic and always do this... ”

So, any form of w> or !0 or whatever is always worth dropping in the front of the line if its simple and unusualness abounds...

Thanks WT.

It was the fact that the simple lines (object, location, attachment) worked for all the other buttons (solo, mute etc) but not this one that threw me.
