This may be no help at all but here it goes...
When you get A as a String of length 4 you really do only have "1234"
but, when you do a PUT_LINE it is putting the entire input buffer.
If you just want to have the output be "1234" either insert a Text_IO.Skip_Line
before you do a Put_Line or just use Text_IO.Put instead of Put_Line

Just an assumption since I've never used Put_Line before.
