the Print() bug in the p5 web editor // flagging issues in projects #14

Closed joeyklee closed 5 years ago

Hi All,

yesterday we saw a funky bug/feature in the p5 web editor that opens up the print dialog in the web browser if no values are passed to it.

you can see this was an issue that was flagged before: https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/issues/618

when working with open source software, one thing that is helpful for the developers/designers of that software is to help them address potential bugs/vulnerabilities/funky things in the software or project that they might have missed. In some cases, you might actually find that they are aware of the issue, but for any number of reasons decided not to fix it or that they would address it at a later time. As designers or developers on a project, you can flag issues, features of interest, or problematic things that need changing by creating an issue and describing the situation you've encountered.


for example:

print("hello")
// returns hello

vs.

print()
// opens up the print dialog
