So println with a char and a number (int or double) works wrong!

No. Read the specification of '+' in the Java Language Specification.

I read it.

Why ist his bug not fixed?

Because it's not a bug.

System.out.println('a'+'b') gives 195. + for Strings means concatenation. + for chars should return Strings, and not interpreting them as numbers and adding them. So for me this is a bug in the Java Language Specification, because it leads to misbehaviour.

For me, this thing is cleared, and I don't want to polute java@gcc.gnu.org with discussions about facts they can't change! :)
