As have I, but I'm pretty sure it's not caused by Reporter.

Two actually, the erroneous 'Processing' on the second line is also
caused by this. So, two down, one to go.

Ah, I'm familiar with such sessions. Sometimes errors have a lingering
effect leading to strange, and often wrong, errors. A reset / restart
cures it but leaves one wondering whether the error was real or not.

Please do, it would be useful to know which program gets it wrong so
that we are aware of it and possibly able fix it.
