I believe App Lab is glitching due to the Share as Library feature. Here is what is happening, [you can experience it here](https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/dhBxa8jhH5L-uXMbxe1kCy_S2eL_VlTIEAdf_0_DHLk). 1. I created a (very silly) function and tested it with 2 console.logs. Both ran successfully. 2. I shared the function as a library using the Share as Library feature. 3. I ran the function again, without changing it, and it ran 4 times. 4. I commented out my console.logs, the function still ran 2 times even though my code was not calling it. 5. I deleted my console.logs, the function still runs 2 times even though it is not being called. ---

Further investigation shows that Share as Library included the function calls with the function code, even though they were above the function definition and comments, separated by a blank line. So the problem seems to be that Share as Library is grabbing more than simply the function and documentation. I resolved the issue but worry that the Share as Library behavior may still occur. ---
