I have a basic logging function, which when not compiled, also ouputs to scite via consolewrite (simplified the reproduction in the script below)
When the log is called with a failed step, I grab a screen shot of the active window, which somehow seems to cause scite to not 'get' the consolewrite until after the subsequent call to the same function...when I put in hard coded sleeps after the consolewrite, it works fine, but shouldn't a single threaded process not have this as a possibliity?

edit...added a lot more calls, just to see the length of time diff:

Got it...it's the difference between consolewrite and consolewriteerror...since I'm not compiling as a conole exe, made all consolerwrites...solved...but not sure why the two would be so different in output
