Problems when reading long strings using get_string()

"If the value I put in firebase dashboard is longer than 22 characters, then the client can’t read it.
Anything shorter than 22 characters works. Anyone having a similar issue?"

When I put a string value with more than 22 characters, get_string returns empty (!)
Instead, I use get_data, but when I do, I sometimes get extra characters:
I should be getting the string {"key":"value_1"} but I get {"key":"value_1"}Cab or {"key":"value_1"}dee (no idea where those characters come from).

Workaround: Use get_data() instead
