Bug layout recursion error with no recursion

I am trying to connect w to this third multiplier (red), it's not working and the console spits out this error:
Layout update is struggling to process current layout (consider simplifying to avoid recursive layout): VisualElement unity-panel-container24 (x:0.00, y:0.00, width:940.80, height:372.80) world rect: (x:0.00, y:0.00, width:940.80, height:372.80)
UnityEngine.GUIUtilityrocessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean&)

 

my fault: I'm inserting the getparticleid in there, which indeed results in a cycle
would be useful to see where the cycle comes from in the error message
