Shut_down problems: 'sleep' needed

Having notifyied some strange behaviour with 'shut_down',I have made some test in script like this:
(in a loop 'for next')
if ....then shut_down
shoot
print x
next x

At my surprise I needed a 'sleep 1000' on my g7 Allbest#50 after if...shut_down!(to not execute following lines)
If my scipt shoot delay was to 1(.1s) a sleep (1100 at least)was needed before 'print', too.Two or more following instructions
 may be involved.Used in a loop,shut_down followed by other instructions(a=get_usb_power for example) without 'sleep' may put in trouble.

Last edit:
As a 'sleep 1100' is indesirable in a loop,the 'shutdown'has only to be get out of the loop:

for x=...
if ...  then goto "shutdown"
next x
:shutdown
 shut_down
 sleep 1500
 end

After other tests on my g7 allbest#50(lcd off enabled),it seems that 'shut_down'with

  the standard-single 'if then else'statement needs a 'sleep'.
  the Fingalo-multiple statement doesn't need a 'sleep' ..in some cases?if there is not other commands out of the 'if then else endif' statement but the script (loop)is still running.
Anyway with the multiple statement I can add a 'sleep' without problem,for example:
  if.....then
      shut_down
      sleep 1500
  else
  endif

Very strange but this may explain if some scripts are running correctly and others not.

we might be able to fix the ubasic shutdown command, so that fixing scripts isnt needed anymore.
