ESP32 s3 UART2 loopback response is abnormal

[marco2009]

I found the UART_NUM_2 of ESP32 s3 does not work like the other uart ports in my project, therefore I coded the following loopback test in Arduino IDE, and the result are the same; normally "output" should be equal to "input" and "i", but only UART2's "output" gives the previous number as showing in the figures.

I would like to ask if there is a bug in UART2 of ESP s3 or I made some mistake. Thank you.

I am using an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1, also having an issue with UART2. The output of UART2 seems to be delayed, with the data getting "stuck" in the buffer until the next read occurs, causing the output to be offset. This seems to be a bug, which I wouldn't have even considered until I found this post. UART1 works correctly. Not sure how this can get reported and fixed?
