Improper compilation causing endless rebooting

Edit: this issue is solved. See solution at the bottom.

If the following code is compiled through Stino then the arduino will reset itself endlessly. On the other hand, if the code is compiled through the arduino IDE then everything is fine.

The problem seems to appear when the three functions (WakeUp(), ShowInfo(), Select_level_1()) in loop() are executed in that order.

I suspect it has something to do with the MFRC522 or SPI libraries or the way serial communication is compiled and handled through Stino.

Sorry for the endless code, but I don't know exactly where the problem is.

Environment:

OS version: Win 10
Arduino IDE version: 1.8.5
MFRC522 Library version: 1.4.0
Stino version: Stino 2017
Arduino device: Arduino UNO
