I’m not sure what to call it but everytime I run code my console prints this twice:

Hi @Tenzin,

Welcome to the forum! 😉

Can you please provide these information:

- Which operating system you are using
- Which version of Processing
- The code that actually does the above behavior

Yes sorry,  
The issue happens on any code I run, I am on macOS ventura 13.2, and it is processing version 4.1.3  
Thanks

Thanks, I can’t find the issue on GitHub can you please create a new one here (by providing all the information you gave us)?

This seems to be related to some MacOS related behavior:
