Short + short = not short?
Code:
short ONE = (short)1;
short a = (short)1;
a = a+ONE;


Why does this give me possible loss of precision error? Im not widening nor shortening, just adding two shorts.

Yeah, basically, on your case(don't ask me why, mabybe someone else knows), short+short = int.

What you want to do is cast the operation:
Code:
short a = 1;
short A = 1;
a = (short)(a+A);
