I'm not sure what you mean by "both commands".  Do you mean that the
'if' and 'else' branches both execute?

Your if/else branches are in a loop, so perhaps you're seeing the 'if'
branch on one loop iteration, anf the 'else' branch on the next iteration?

I see that your if and else branches both contain a screen.addstr()
call.  Are you seeing both of these outputs?
