Are you running the console version of the engine? Can't replicate this so need more details

Also cannot replicate this. I notice “multi window” is the output window disconnected from the editor when you’re printing?”

Everything is working fine now, but while searching for a solution, I found that other people are experiencing the same issue.

There is a video clip you can refer to. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3e355793-af97-4782-8d59-75d058910fb3
When the issue occurs, the console only shows "--- Debugging process stopped --", and the testing project window cannot be closed except by pressing STOP [F8].

As noted in the Reddit post your script needs to be attached to something and should also extend a class. Also you can likely run into issues if your shadowing a base class name like “Node” in the video with both the node and the script name.
