Confirmed - this demonstrates it. zxb 1.3.0-s928
Should print a string, followed by a # - but the # ends up printing OVER the prior string, not after it and then on the next line and all over the place - the printed string seems to print beyond where it should. Seems to work on some numbers - so perhaps it's a STR$ bug? Though I think I've seen it on non STR$ stuff.
I just spent ages recompiling Berksman trying to find where on earth it was printing blank data across half the screen
- It was the print line above! Not my fault!
Code:
DIM score as uLong
SUB displayScore(amount as ulong)
ink 2
dim a$ as string
a$="000000"+STR$(amount)
print at 12,12;a$(LEN a$-7 TO);"#"
END SUB
FOR score= 0 to 1000000 step 10
displayScore(score)
NEXT scoreShould print a string, followed by a # - but the # ends up printing OVER the prior string, not after it and then on the next line and all over the place - the printed string seems to print beyond where it should.
