Renko bar in ticks; missing arraysize adjustment

I am working on a strategy that uses a chart with "Renko Bar (in ticks)".

I have noticed that there can be occasions that the sc.Index is adjusted, but the sc.ArraySize is not. I am basing some calculations on the close of the last bar when sc.ArraySize is incremented.


if (PriorArraySize < sc.ArraySize){
SCString aap;
aap.Format("sc.Index = %d, RenkoClose[sc.Index] = %f, LatestLow =%f",sc.Index,RenkoClose[sc.Index],LatestLow);
sc.AddMessageToLog(aap,1);
}
PriorArraySize = sc.ArraySize;


sc.UpdateAlways = 1;

I have some output on a very basic study that shows this. sc.Index is raised from 26371 to 26372 while sc.ArraySize is not incremented.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks for your time.

Let me rephrase the question.

Is it normal that sc.ArraySize skips a beat and is raised by two instead of one?

This is whats happening occasionally with the renko bar in ticks chart.

Edit. I guess this happens as price moving fast. Creating more than one bar at once. I guess I will need to check for larger increments of sc.ArraySize than 1.
