The reference for Serial.write implies that you can have one or more parameters of type byte[], String or int. As far as I can see it accepts only one parameter (of any of those types).
The method write(int) in the type Serial is not applicable for the arguments (String, int)
The method write(int) in the type Serial is not applicable for the arguments (int, String)
Serial.write with integer parameter sends only the least-significant byte.
Assuming that serial.write(int-var) is valid, although not an example in Processing-4 (it was an example in Processing-3). It sends only the least-sig byte. Maybe this is as intended, but the reference doesn't say that so you'd expect the whole integer, all 4 bytes, to be written.
Expected Behavior
I'd expect the serial.write() to accept all the formats given in the reference. Assuming that the code is working correctly, then the reference should have examples of each possibility write(byte[]), byte, String, int. (I've only tested int.) No examples with multiple parameters.
I'd expect write(int) to send the whole integer, or if the help states that it only sends the least-sig byte, then 1 byte will do.
Current Behavior
Serial.write does not accept the reference multi-parameter examples.

X is the value Processing has, continues increasing. Arduino is sending back value of only 1 byte, limited to 255.
Which is right, the serial.write() behaviour, or the reference? Why was the documentation changed between Processing 3 and 4. The easy solution is to make the reference match the current behaviour. Only 1 parameter of 3 types.
For the write(int) add the reference line, something like "with an integer parameter the least-significant byte is sent (value 0..255).
