At the time I reported the inconsistency problem, I used Lazarus IDE for debugging. Tooltip debugging, watches etc. It displayed the wrong character. So from a developers point of view, they believe what the IDE shows them as correct and true. This was not the case (back then). I believe Lazarus IDE has been improved to "interpret" what the developer meant, and based on the string type, convince GDB to return the correct data via some work-arounds. But from a "normal FPC developers" point of view - they want to use Pascal syntax in a watch window, and expect correct results. At the time, this was not the case.
