Bash - Printing string containing array item causes an odd graphic error - No special characters inside the array

I am going crazy to understand why the following bash portion of code:

    simpleTest=("this is just a test print string after my array ${testArray[i]} keep testing")
echo $simpleTest

Prints the string like this

As you can see, the part of the string that comes after ${testArray[I]} is then printed at the beginning of the line and is overriding the "This is just". Unfortunately I can't post the entire code but the rest of the code is pretty much independent. If I end my string at ${testArray[I]} everything works fine. I really don't understand why it doesn't accept other strings after the array item. There are no special characters inside the array

Any suggestion?

You probably have a `\r` character in your `testArray`. – 0x5453 Jun 04 '21 at 20:47
Unfortunately no, the values inside testArray are one single word no signs – Porcac1x Jun 04 '21 at 21:03

I'd suggest editing the question to show us how `testArray` is being created, preferably in the form of a [mcve]. Otherwise we can only guess what the problem could be. – 0x5453 Jun 04 '21 at 21:40
