Construction script is running more than once when hitting the compile button

When the compile button is pressed the construction script will run 3 times.

1. Open a new C++ Project
2. Create a an actor component c++ code
3. Name it MyTestComponent
4. Add the following Code:

MyTestComponent.h

 UFUNCTION(BlueprintCallable, Category = "Test")
 void TestThing();

MyTestComponent.cpp:

 int g_Runtimes = 0;
 void UMyTestComponent::TestThing()
 {
     UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("It is running %d times."), g_Runtimes);
     ++g_Runtimes;
 }

1. Build code
2. Start Project
3. Create a new Blueprint (actor)
4. Add the new component that was just created
5. Create the attached blueprint
6. Open the output log
7. Click the compile button for the new blueprint
8. Notice that the output log now shows that the construction script has run 3 times
