Bug: Print() creates Dialogt to PRint File to Printer and Alpha.editor issue

I found a bug with Print(); on both Google Chrome Local and Google Chrome > p5.js Alpha Editor
When I try to use Print() in the Alpha Editor i get the following error:

//begin example
var x = 10;
print(x);
//end example
Ignored call to 'print()'. The document is sandboxed, and the 'allow-modals' keyword is not set.

when I use Print(); Locally Google Chrome opens a Print Dialog window, as if I want to Print my File to a Printer.

Macbook Pro 2011 MACOSX 10.8.5 Laptop, Google Chrome version 49.0.2623.112 (64-bit)
/*! p5.js v0.5.16 October 11, 2017 */

Hi @Xrispy7, we have a dedicated repo for the web editor, can you post this issue over there so the web editor team can have a look at it? Thanks.

this is caused by calling print() outside of a p5 function. if you call print() inside of setup() or draw() and so on, it functions as console.log. i'm pretty sure this is the intended behavior, @lmccart can you confirm?

[catarak]

i will answer this question myself and say yes, this is intended behavior, see https://github.com/processing/p5.js/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#why-cant-i-assign-variables-using-p5-functions-and-variables-before-setup

[lmccart]

@catarak yes this is correct! sorry I should've looked closer at the code example before moving, I though this was referring to calling print() inside of setup or draw.

@cassie @lmcart Thank you both for clearing this up so quickly! I'll invest further before posting a bug next time. Chris P
