I can't reproduce that behavior. Running a script with just those 2

Please post the program. Otherwise we are shooting in the dark.

Also note print is a function not a statement.

Be sure to:
-  Place your answers following the relevant text.
-  Delete old text that is no longer relevant.
-  Ensure a copy of your reply goes to the list.
