Hmm strange, 2 different font types (type face). I had big issues with your first log line but your second line worked perfect. Even using the cursor to scroll along the first log line caused issues. Even when I go to Tools > IDE Options > Change Font, and I change the fonts, font style and font size I still had issues with your first log file. Writing the line out manually works perfectly fine though

@Peter Simpson
So why this happen? This is unlucky effect of my name into strings?

Look at the B4a file using a Hex editor, the text you have pasted has 3 extra values (hex ef,bb and bf) which are presumably changing the displayed font, and causing the string size error.

thank u
And what is the solution? Write text file just by using b4a text writer?

That may not always be feasible if you need to use third party text files, and it depends on the required use of the file. If you only want a plain text file you could check the Ascii range of it's content and remove unwanted characters. You could duplicate the file first if you want to keep the original intact.
