Draw_Lives Block doesnt work correctly

Whenever i use the Draw_Lives block, it doesnt ever print the caption. Instead it draws whatever number i have for the xposition on screen. So if i said the x position is 0, and the value of lives was 3, then it will print " 0 3" instead of "Lives: 3" im pretty sure this is a bug, is this happening to anyone else?

I honestly never use draw_lives and it isn't even in the manual. Are you sure that x position is really x position and not the string before the number of lives?
Otherwise you can use code! Just pick a code block and copy this:
Code:
draw_text(50,50,"lives: "+string(lives))
Change the 50,50 to any position you'd like and "lives: " to whatever you like.

thanks for the reply. Im aware that i could do it through code, but i posted this to point out that the block is clearly bugged. Typing text for the value of x brings up errors, and a numeric value does change the position on the screen, but the game feels the need to draw it instead of the caption
