That stuff is inside "#if CONSOLE_USE_INTERRUPTS".
Are you sure it is enabled?

That is also what I would expect.

I don't see that.
The line marked "SG" causes the outer loop to exit ASAP, i.e. no waiting for more data to come in. In the mean time, the inner loop can still collect multiple bytes if they are available in the queue. Right?
