Executing an application with sudo fires up 3 new instances

Example:

Code:$ sudo mousepadExpected behavior (after inputting the correct password): 2 new processes will be fired up: sudo and mousepad
Current behavior: 3 new processes are fired up: sudo, sudo (again) and mousepad

This can also be seen on Ubuntu (live). However, not in Fedora (live) or Manjaro (live).

Not sure what's happening here.
