           Summary: System.Console.Readline() fails to echo the first 1-2
                    characters entered in a console.
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.6.x
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: io-layer
        AssignedTo: lupus at novell.com

Leading characters are not echoed when supplying input to
System.Console.Readline(). This has been tested using the following snippet,

namespace foo
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string input = System.Console.ReadLine();
            System.Console.WriteLine("Read: {0}", input);
        }
    }
}

Behaviour varies -- sometimes only the first character fails to echo; more
often, two characters are suppressed. On occasion input is fully echoed, though
this normal behaviour is a rarity.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a string: 'abcde'
2. Observe that the leading characters ('a' or 'ab', depending) are not echoed,
though the input seems to have been read (and stored) correctly.
Actual Results:  
# ./foo.exe 
cde
Read: abcde


Expected Results:  
The input 'abcde' should have been fully echoed.
