this line ^^^ needs to be changed to:

                          Console.ReadLine();

before making the change, I was not able to compile your test program,
so I assume you must have had the "();" in your original source.

That said, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem:

[fejj at tazmanian-devil src]$ gmcs readln.cs 
[fejj at tazmanian-devil src]$ mono ./readln.exe 
Enter some text and press enter: sdffasfasfasfasf
This is the text you entered: sdffasfasfasfasf

In case you were maybe using mcs instead of gmcs, I tried again:

[fejj at tazmanian-devil src]$ mcs readln.cs 
[fejj at tazmanian-devil src]$ mono ./readln.exe 
Enter some text and press enter: asfasdasdasdas
This is the text you entered: asfasdasdasdas


Can you explain your problem a bit more?
