Research direction
Reproduce the second-launch failure on Arch Linux with a system proxy configured, following the three steps in the issue. Compare behavior before and after removing ~/.config/processing, then trace the IDE startup and configuration handling to identify why the second launch fails. Done means Processing starts successfully again without deleting its configuration.
