While you are in fhandler_console.cc:

@@ -1234,7 +1226,7 @@
          else
            buf[copied_chars++] = input_rec.Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar;
        }
-      if (copied_chars ||
+      if (copied_chars >= lenin ||
          WaitForSingleObject (hndl, 0) != WAIT_OBJECT_0)
        break;
     }

ReadConsoleInput() already blocks and there is no reason to wait if there
are already characters read.  This patch fixes the problem where pasted
characters fail to show up until a key is pressed.  It also fixes some
console mode peculiarities where an extra key press is required.
