Why a TextDialog triggered before a delay will be shown after delay end?

Hi Community.
Made a Delay an playing around with it.
Why the First Message (Debug1) will shown at last, after the delay is expired?
Put it also in the Button.click element bevor calling the Process delay. The same result.

Your delay will not work like that. Use a clock timer event to start the delay then run the items you want after the delay.
