array~Dimension(1) does not work in every case ?

Hello,
it seems ~Dimension(1) doesn't work correctly if an array is filled by
[] or ~Append

a = .array~New(0)
A[1] = ' '
A[2] = "Mike"
A[3] = "Rick"

say a~dimension()       -- Shows: 1 , that's correct
say a~dimension(1)     -- Shows: 0 ,  I would expect 3

If the array is filled by ~of(...) all works fine

/**/
a = .array~of(,"Mike","Rick")
say a~dimension()       -- Shows: 1, that's correct
say a~dimension(1)     -- Shows: 3. That's also correct

Append seems to have the same problem

a = .array~New(0)
A~Append(' ')
A~Append("Mike")
A~Append("Rick")
say a~dimension()      -- Shows 1, that's correct
say a~dimension(1)    -- Shows: 0 , I would expect 3

If I combine ~Of() and Append() all works fine also

a = .array~of('')
A~Append("Mike")
A~Append("Rick")
say a~dimension()    -- Shows: 1
say a~dimension(1)  -- Shows 3


Any Idea why ~of works different to [] or ~Append()

Thanks           ...... Martin

Looks like a bug to me.  You should open an error report at the
sourceforge site.  This only seems occur when you explicitly specify 0
for the initial size.  If you use the default size or specify a non-zero
size, everything seems to work as you would expect.
