Bug description
An issue was brought up on the XYscope repo about the size of shapes changing and going off screen.. did some version checking and discovered a bug was introduced in v4.4.3 of Processing. Prior to 4.4.2, my examples for 1_getting_started > calibration (or basic_drawing or clock) all worked fine, keeping the graphics within the 512x512 window. Since 4.4.3, the shapes seem to be 4x bigger... the sizing magnitude change is especially noticeable with the basic_drawing example where the mouseX/Y no longer match.. Odd that about half the sketches aren't affected.. so I'm guessing it's semi related to pushMatrix()/popMatrix() or translate()... really not sure.. Tried looking into the changelog, but perhaps someone working close on the project has an idea from the commit log what it might have been? The issue has lingered up until the latest 4.4.6 release.
v4.4.2, calibration example
v4.4.3, calibration example (scale issue)
On a small side note, another small issue that was introduced in 4.4.2, was the alphabetical order listing of the Contributed Libraries within the examples window. Previously XYscope was usually at the very bottom of this list, but now it looks like some other bits from the folder aren't being filtered? - aha, it's placing all lowercase libs at the bottom after any Titlecase ones...

Research direction
Start by reproducing the XYscope calibration, basic_drawing, and clock examples on Processing 4.4.2 and 4.4.3, then inspect the Core/Environment/Rendering changes in the linked commit range. Check whether the sizing regression and the Contributed Libraries ordering regression have separate causes. Done means the examples retain their expected dimensions and the library list is alphabetized consistently.
