#392 Console2 swallows keypresses

[Ram Rachum]

Console2 often swallows keypresses.

I work in Windows XP with bash. Often I run a few commands in succession, e.g. I type `git pull<Enter>` and while the computer is working, type `git checkout master<enter>` and then possibly another command after that, depending on how slow the actions are.

But sometimes after the first command is finished, I see "it checkout master" on my screen, without the "g", and of course I get a "command not found" error because of it.

Console2 swallowed the "g".

This usually happens at the start of the command, maybe that's a hint as to why this is happening.

Does anyone care?

Did anyone even see this bug?

We see everything, but have little time to do anything about it :-)

I can't say what the problem is exactly, since I can't reproduce it right now. However, I know that Windows uses ` key to allow entering some accented characters on the keyboard (Console can handle that)

When a user hits the ` key, Windows waits for the next keypress (e.g. e) and writes an accented version of the character.

Coud that be your problem?

Can't be that-- I very rarely use ` in the shell.
