So is there a way to circumvent these issues? Or an explanation for this behavior, so that I can try to find a solution by myself?

Thanks
Emanuel

This overwriting happens only for the first textext() which occurs inside the for k=1 endfor loop. All other textext() inside the for k=1 endfor loop are not drawn at all. If the line « draw textext("T="&decimal(currentime)) scaled 2 shifted(0,2in) withcolor magenta ; » is commented out, the first textext() inside the for k=1 endfor loop is not drawn neither. It must be an issue with textext(), because when I replace textext() by lmt_outline[], the text is drawn.
