Hi Paul, I just noticed something puzzling in one of Patrick's earlier
emails...

I've never had a reason to delve into any OSC settings but just for the
hell of it, I also went to Edit->Preferences->Control Surfaces. In my
case I see 3 options listed:- Generic Midi, Mackie and OSC. Underneath
the list there's some text saying "Double-click on a name to edit
settings for an enabled protocol". In the case of Generic Midi or
Mackie, double-clicking will bring up a Settings window. But if I
enable OSC and then double-click, nothing happens (although Ardour
subsequently crashes). I know it's not relevant to Patrick's query but
presumably, the OSC option should also be bringing up a Settings window?
