Description

Sporadically in our code files, there are weird "//<>//" strings appearing at random places. They seem to collect at the top of files, but also randomly around the code.

Expected Behavior

When editing in the PDE, there shouldn't be sporadic //<>// around in the code. It really affects our Git commits.

Current Behavior

Sporadic //<>// strings all around the code just randomly appear when editing with the PDE.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use PDE with multiple class files
  2. Also use other editor - not sure if this affects anything.

Your Environment

  • Processing version: Processing 3.5.3
  • Operating System and OS version: Windows 10 v1803 / MacOS Mojave 10.14.4
  • Other information:

Possible Causes / Solutions

Maybe it's some breakpoint deliminator?

This has been annoying me for a while, so finally decided to check that out. Seems it's the way Processing stores the positions of the breakpoints marked while in debugger mode. So nothing can probably be done about it without completely changing how breakpoints work.

Multiple instances of //<>// appear when lines with breakpoints are merged, which probably should be fixed though, as then the extra markers are visible in Processing upon restart.
