Android Question Bug or undocumented feature?

[Beja]

Today and by a mistake I forgot to add the .text extension to the right side of the assignment in a line like"

EditText2.Text = EditText2 & "bla bla"

The result was all the properties of EditText2 view placed clearly on the EditText box at runtime!!
something like the (EditText): Left = 530 ... and so on.
I thought these properties' values were compiled to hex machine code and they should not show
at runtime in plain text.

Any explanation?

I was using b4a v3

The compiler should warn you about this issue:

The object is converted to string. Many objects have a useful debugging mostly method (toString) that is called when the object is converted to string.
