Details about the bug:

p5.js version: v0.7.2
Web browser and version: Google Chrome 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Operating System: MacOS Mojave Version 10.14
Steps to reproduce this: Calling the print() function without any parameters will open the print dialog. If you put it in the draw loop it will keep opening print dialogs until you close the page. It seems like the p5 print should overload the native print function whenever it can.

I'm sorry, I think there was some confusion in our conversation. This is by design, so as not to block the browser native print method. If there's a problem with the auto-refresh in the web editor calling the function too soon, that issue can be posted over there.
