Help: Issues with the _PRINTSTRING and _INPUTBOX$ functions in QB64.

[qbfans]

During my study of QB64, I've encountered two confusing issues:

_PRINTSTRING: When used within a VIEW viewport, it doesn't seem to support relative coordinates, whereas _UPRINTSTRING works fine with them. Given how similar they are, it seems like _PRINTSTRING should also be able to use relative coordinates.

Chinese input via _INPUTBOX$: I can input Chinese characters normally in the pop-up dialog, but the returned string is garbled. Typically, a Chinese character in GBK encoding is 2 bytes, but the string returned by this function appears to be 4 bytes per character. The character encoding doesn't seem to match GBK, UTF-8, or UTF-16, making it impossible to convert and use correctly. While _MESSAGEBOX can normally display Chinese text, the characters returned by _INPUTBOX$ cannot even be displayed properly by the _MESSAGEBOX statement.

I hope to get some help from everyone. Thank you.
