Text in Console not Displaying

Bug description:
When I type in the console, characters are not visible until several characters are entered. The input statement retrieves the text correctly, but it is not visible in the console window.

Expected vs Current Behavior:
I expect to see characters that are typed in, but I am not seeing the text that I enter on the keyboard until a sixth character is entered.

Steps to reproduce:
I create a repl in Python and use the input function. x = input("Enter text: "). When I run and type in characters, five characters are invisible and then the sixth character causes the preceding characters to display in the console. The issue is the same when using the shell.

I think this is due to lag and your device, not Replit.

It happened to me before.

I think its this

Try clearing your broweser chache or try a different browser and see if that does anything.

I had tried clearing my browser cache and that did not help. I am now on a different computer and it is working correctly. I am not sure why the one computer is having issues when these are the same model computers on the same school network. I will try a different browser next.

Is there any extensions you’re using on that computer?

I dont think its lag, if it were, surely it would just take a bit of time to load rather than requiring that 6th character always. Classic unreliable replit

Please try it on a different device and post with the results, it will give a bit more information. I personally think this is related to your device, but it’s just a guess.
