Visual Studio Tools for Unity registers a log callback with Unity to be able to stream its console to Visual Studio. If your editor scripts also register a log callback with Unity, the VSTU callback might interfere with your callback. To prevent this possibility, use the VisualStudioIntegration.LogCallback event to cooperate with VSTU.

    {  
        VisualStudioIntegration.LogCallback += (string condition, string trace, LogType type) =>  
        {  
            // place code that implements your log callback here  
        };
