Summary: Neglecting last character command-line

Initial Comment:
In the MGED Command Window the last character of the command-line is frequentely (no allways) neglected.
After hitting <enter> it appears behind the insertion point.

work-around : finish the command-line with a <space>
              and don't forget to repeat after 
              re-entering with the <up-button>.

BRL-CAD on windows-xp.

Is this an ecception only occuring on my machine, or a
general behaviour?

Sean,

Being a starting user (still mudling through "Introduction to MGED"),I
can't reproduce a sequence of actions wich could have caused the problem.
Knowing to be a poor typist (friendly qualifycation), I expected to cause
the problem myself, but is occures also with simple commands like <Z>, <q>
and <ls>.
Last session all went well without ending the command-line with <space>
until the cursor refused to pass the last character of the line using the
right-arrow button,
(It was the first time I noticed that happening), and virtualy all
folowing commands went wrong.
As this probem seems rather unique, could it be that the MGED-editor is
iterfered by a flaw in my windows-setup?

Peter, does it happen all the time?  I don't think I've heard of anyone
reporting that it always happens for them.  If you have a reproducible set
of steps that cause the problem, that would greatly help too.
