Simple "while"-loop loops forever

[htgoebel]

Hi,

thanks for this great tool!

I try implementing a simple "while"-loop like this:

setvar("i", "0");
setvar("num-apks", 10);
if cmp(getvar("i"), "<", getvar("num-apks")) == 1 then
   #gotolabel("my_app__loop1");
   appendvar("text", getvar("i") + "\n");
   setvar("i", cal(getvar("i"), "+", "1"));
   if cmp(getvar("i"), "<", getvar("num-apks")) then
      appendvar("text", "cmp\n");
   endif;
   if cmp(getvar("i"), "<", 5) then
      appendvar("text", "cmp(5)\n");
      goto("my_app__loop1");
   endif;
endif;
# ... display var "text"

If the gotolabel is commented out (as above), both if-statements hit and "text" contains "cmp cmp(5)" as expected. (The goto is ignored because the label is missing, which is okay for me in this case.)

No if I activate the gotolabel, I'd assume the loop to stop after 5 iterations. But the script simply loops forever.

I even look at the source of AROMA installer, but could not easily spot any problem.

Any help?

Here is a simpler and complete example:

fontresload( "0", "ttf/Roboto-Regular.ttf;ttf/DroidSansFallback.ttf;", "12" );
fontresload( "1", "ttf/Roboto-Regular.ttf;ttf/DroidSansFallback.ttf;", "14" );

textbox("Welcome", "You are welcome", "", "");

setvar("i", "0");

gotolabel("my_app__loop1");
if cmp(getvar("i"), "<", "5") then
    textbox("Value of i - first", "", "", getvar("i"));
    setvar("i", cal(getvar("i"), "+", "1"));
    textbox("Value of i - second", "", "", getvar("i"));
    goto("my_app__loop1");
endif;

This shows, that the value if "i" will be reset to zero when looping.

Just for the records: I tried storing the variable value into a file and read it form there in the next loop-iteration. While reading and writing the value works, doing this in a loop does not. Even in this test the value of i got reset to zero.
