I have found similar problems with Windows 2000, also when using the native Win32 API. I think there might be a bug in how the console standard input is managed. Here's what I tried: I used one API to peek at the input event queue and another API (ReadFile) to read characters from the standard input. I typed "asd" and the event queue contained, correctly, six events corresponding to the press and release of "a", "s" and "d". When I read from standard input, though, I got "a?d". This also seems to be worse on slower machines, and only happens with keyboard input, not with pipes or file redirection.
