Description

I have a chart with two instruments.  If I use the print statement to print barstatus, and then submit an order it works fine.  If I also print barstatus(2) the order is ignored.

Steps to reproduce this issue

Insert two instruments to a chart.  Use the following code.  Comment out the appropriate print statement and uncomment the other one to toggle between the two scenarios.
[IntrabarOrderGeneration = True]
variables:
    intrabarpersist ntick(0);
if LastBarOnChart_s and getappinfo(aiStrategyAuto) = 1 and getappinfo(aiRealTimeCalc) = 1 then begin
//    print (ntick," ",barstatus);                    // this does not block the order
    print (ntick," ",barstatus," ",barstatus(2));    // this blocks the order
    if barstatus >= 0 then begin
        ntick = ntick + 1;
        if ntick = 3 then print ("sellshort #1");
        if ntick >= 3 then sellshort ("#1") 2 contracts next bar at market;
    end;
end;
