Object variable "object1" is declared in the method, it has a member property "object2" properly created, as well as character member property "property1" properly created. If I check the value of object1.object2.property1 before or after the statement, I get a correct value.

Does not support = bug? For your information, this is the definition of a computer bug: A computer bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from working correctly or produces an incorrect result. Bugs arise from mistakes and errors, made by people, in either a program's source code or its design. It is said that there are bugs in all useful computer programs, but well-written programs contain relatively few bugs, and these bugs typically do not prevent the program from performing its task.
