When is paint() called?

General JUCE discussion
1

In my paint() function I have:

std::cout << "paint\n";

And in my resized() I have:

std::cout << "resized\n";

As soon as I launch (in standalone mode), std output is as follows:

resized
paint

Then there is a short pause, after which paint is printed continuously without ceasing, like so:

paint
paint
paint
paint
paint

As soon as I resize, I get this again:

resized
paint

But then it stays there, and doesn’t print paint continuously like it did before. What explains this behavior?

What keeps calling paint() over and over, even though I’m not doing anything? And then why does it stop once I resize?

OK I got this sorted out thanks to Florian Mrugalla on AP Discord. paint() keeps getting called because of the JUCE logo flickering out. It’s not actually continuous but stops after about 90 calls.
