It does this because the con file is alwasy present.
It stands for console

Go to your desktop and make a folder or file with the name of con.

It will say its already there.

Any extension doesnt matter.

So no this is not a bug

Code:
DllCall("AllocConsole")
ifExist nul
    FileAppend, nul exists... o_O`n, con.ini
FileAppend, Press Enter to exit., con.foo
FileReadLine, l, con.rawr!, 1

Btw, it's a documented Windows feature: Naming a File.
Quote:
Do not use the following reserved device names for the name of a file: CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed by an extension, for example, NUL.tx7.

Lexikos, wow thx! You showed me a way how to write console like programs with AutoHotkey. I will search and read more about that. Is the stdin working with con? For example with pipes.

No, CON, CONIN$ and CONOUT$ access the console, even if StdIn and StdOut have been redirected.
