Is the text object set to display respDisplay every Frame?
Try text.text = ''
in Begin Routine to set it as blank before the first frame (if the text object is called text).
Personally I tend to set this kind of text object as a single space / constant in the component and then update the text in an Each Frame code component, but only when it changes.
e.g.
if respDisplay != oldDisplay:
text.text = respDisplay
oldDisplay = respDisplay
