Millions of Console & System Log messages

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

Hi all (Keith),
When opening up console.app, I see millions of messages from Scrivener. They’re not being generated constantly by Scrivener, but when they do happen, they get generated at about 50/second. They’re all identical. One example:

10/09/08 6:28:08 AM Scrivener[137] passed-in style: Alignment 4, LineSpacing 0, ParagraphSpacing 0, ParagraphSpacingBefore 0, HeadIndent 108, TailIndent 360, FirstLineHeadIndent 108, LineHeight 0/0, LineHeightMultiple 0, LineBreakMode 0, Tabs ( ), DefaultTabInterval 0, Blocks (null), Lists (null), BaseWritingDirection -1, HyphenationFactor 0, TighteningFactor 0.05, HeaderLevel 0, saved style: Alignment 4, LineSpacing 0, ParagraphSpacing 0, ParagraphSpacingBefore 24, HeadIndent 36, TailIndent 468, FirstLineHeadIndent 36, LineHeight 0/0, LineHeightMultiple 0, LineBreakMode 0, Tabs ( ), DefaultTabInterval 0, Blocks (null), Lists (null), BaseWritingDirection -1, HyphenationFactor 0, TighteningFactor 0.05, HeaderLevel 0, isEqual: 0

Quick search on these boards revealed the console info is ‘harmless debugging’ dev info, but nothing anything about ‘passed-in’ styles.

Keith, besides clogging up my System.log and console messages screen, is this anything to be concerned about?

No, it is completely harmless. Basically I just accidentally left a piece of debugging code in 1.11, which prints to the console the current typing attributes every time they change (every time you change the font or place the cursor in text with different attributes to where the cursor was last time). It has absolutely no effect on anything, and is of course removed for the next update.
Best,
Keith
