    Description

      There has been a regression in 1.6 that causes the assignment of a String with length 1 to a char location to fail if it is an array element.

      So where as these still work:

      char c
      c = 'a'
      c = '\u00A0'

      these don't (and are fine in 1.5.x):

      char[] ca = new char[1]
      ca[0] = 'a'
      ca[0] = '\u00A0'
