Bug description

Significant errors in calculating the width of text using the textWidth(String) method in P2D mode in the Eclipse environment

Steps to reproduce this

To reproduce the error, you need to run the code that I specified here in the Eclipse environment.

void settings() {
size(720,360,P2D);
}

void setup() {
stroke(0);
textSize(24);
final String str = "WWWtttt".repeat(100);
final float textWidth = textWidth(str);
text(str, 100 - textWidth, 200);
stroke(255, 0, 0);
line(100 - textWidth, 200, 100, 200);
noLoop();
}

Hi @OneMaxApps,

Thanks for the detailed report and for sharing a simple code example.

A couple of things would be useful to check so we can understand what's going on:

1. Does this only happen when you run the sketch from Eclipse, or do you also see the same issue when running it directly in the Processing IDE?
2. Could you try the same code with the latest Processing release and let us know if the issue is still present? We can only address bugs that appear in the most recent version.
3. When you run this sketch, what result are you expecting, and what result are you actually seeing? A short explanation or screenshot would help us understand the difference.

Thanks again for taking the time to flag this.

The problem is observed only in Eclipse, in the native IDE Processing everything is fine
