Processing randomly inserts the characters '//<>//' into .pde files.

Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

PDE

Processing version

4.3 / 4.3.1

Operating system

Windows/macOS

Steps to reproduce this

When i modify and save a file in processing it will randomly append the characters '//<>//' (without quotes) to random lines. These characters don't show up in the processing editor, but git detects them as modifications. They display normally in other text editors. I can remove these characters in a different text editor, but as soon as i modify and save the files in processing, the characters appear again. Sometimes on different lines, sometimes on the same lines. Some lines have multiple instances of these characters added. Over time more and more instances appear throughout my project.

What's going on there? Is this normal behaviour? How can i get rid of it?

I don't know if there is a way to reproduce it. I have removed all tools and libraries from my processing installation but it still happens.

まず、Windows または macOS 上で Processing PDE のバージョン 4.3 または 4.3.1 を使用して問題を再現し、次に PDE で保存した .pde ファイルを別のテキストエディタで開いたものと比較してください。保存によってリテラル文字 //\u003c\u003e// が挿入されるかどうかを確認し、確実に再現できる手順またはそれを引き起こす条件を記録してください。
