console-bug? swallows/casts chars?

[ReneMiner]

I was experimenting a little, playing around with heap and such and found some weird behaviour when using Print

Not sure about the reason but if i use Print to print out single letters in a row
(String * 1 here, but same happens if using Byte-layover and CHR$(variable) -function)
somehow the first char does not seem to reach the console-window
depending on how the string gets composed:

"string" & {variable|function} [&...]
or
{variable|function} & "string" [&...]

Uses "console"


Dim foo As DWord = HEAP_AllocByStr( "hello world!" _
                                     & $CRLF _
                                     & "welcome to thinBasic" )
                                     

PrintL HEAP_Get(foo)
PrintL


Dim char As String * 1 At foo

PrintL "first char: " & $DQ & char & $DQ 
PrintL

PrintL "run 1: string " & $DQ & "." & $DQ & " in front"
PrintL

While VarPtr(char) <= HEAP_End(foo) 

 Print "." & char 
  
  SetAt( char, VarPtr(char)+1 ) 
Wend
  
PrintL Repeat$(2, $CRLF)


' reset
SetAt(char, foo)
PrintL "run 2: variable 'char' in front"
PrintL

While VarPtr(char) <= HEAP_End(foo) 

  Print char & "." 
  SetAt( char, VarPtr(char)+1 ) 
Wend

PrintL Repeat$(2, $CRLF)
SetAt(char, foo)
PrintL "where is the " & $DQ & char & $DQ & " ?"
PrintL $CRLF & " -------------------- key to end"
