First character eaten by console

[Duke]

Whenever I switch to the console, the first character I type is eaten away. Not a biggie, but still annoying. I have somewhat gotten used to it, but I fear I will start to type the first letter twice in other applications

(Sorry, I couldn't think of any significant keywords for a forum search...)

Is it just me ?
Is it a known problem ?
Can we do anything about it ?

[Mattn]

which key are you using to open the console?

[Duke]

'^'

Ahhh, I start to understand.
If I use '~', it works.
Are there more alternatives ?

[Mattn]

shift + esc

I unfortunalty dont think we can do anything for the caret char.
