If so, they've kept themselves remarkably quiet, or haven't even
noticed the problem yet.

There are only a few noteworthy candidates besides X11, to begin with:

*) OS/2
*) MS Windows
    These both use a non-<stdio.h> input scheme, I think, so there's
    no buffering to be worried about.

*) MacOS classic --- not our business, we never made that version
*) MacOS X / OpenStep   --- I've no idea.
*) Full-screen direct VGA drivers for the PC (linuxvga, DOS versions, GGI)
    These rely on a keypress event to switch back and forth between graph
    and command line.  But none of them has mouse or other feedback
    coming from the driver, so they should be safe.
