Description

Even though i have enabled "Continuosly check for errors" and "Show warnings" in my preferences, Processing does not show any errors or warnings when i am writing new code directly after startup.

Preferences settings

Expected Behavior

Processing should always display user feedback before I run the program, i.e. for incorrect datatypes, type mismatches or missing brackets.

Current Behavior

Instead, I dont or inconsistently get errors and warnings before I try to run code after startup.

No warnings or errors displayed before running code

After that, it correctly displays errors and warnings.

Correct error and warnings display

I´ve deleted the preferences.txt file and even reinstalled Processing, which didn´t fix the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Sadly, the issue is hard to reproduce, since it doesnt seem to be caused by my code and it only occurs on my PC.

Your Environment

  • Processing version: Processing 4.1.3
  • Operating System and OS version: Windows 10 Pro, 22H2

Possible Causes / Solutions

I suspect it is caused by something like a corrupted preference file which was not deleted, even after reinstalling.
