DBG_FIRST debug output in visual studio with Radeon Chill enabled

Hi,

I'm a game developer working with Visual Studio. I started experimenting with the Radeon Chill feature to limit framerates. Upon setting it to 30, I started noticing  some output in VS alongside my own. Here's some examples:

DBG_FIRST: 626DBG_FIRST: 624DBG_FIRST: 619DBG_FIRST: 755DBG_FIRST: 723DBG_FIRST: 675DBG_FIRST: 586DBG_FIRST: 599DBG_FIRST: 403DBG_FIRST: 399

and another instance

DBG_FIRST: 185DBG_FIRST: 185DBG_FIRST: 185DBG_FIRST: 185DBG_FIRST: 185

These don't all come at once, but there are no line breaks so they just build up until one of my debug lines is printed. It's not too annoying, but some of my output is pushed off to the side.

I just updated to latest in case that was the issue but it still seems to be happening.

Driver version is 27.20.21002.112 and I'm running a RX 580. The game is X4 Foundations, which is Vulkan.

Cheers.

Sorry for the necro but I've installed latest drivers today and it's started happening again. Example output being
DBG_FIRST: 984DBG_FIRST: 977DBG_FIRST: 974DBG_FIRST: 974

Driver version: 30.0.14029.1011

I'll play around with some settings to see if I can prevent it.
