I should have been more precise, and there are actually two slightly 
different effects
(I noticed the first after my report):
If you press a multi-byte key (like ä, €, F1), only the first byte will 
be seen by select()
and echoed immediately by the test program. The remaining bytes will 
only appear
after you have *released* the key (looking carefully before the keyboard 
auto-repeats...).
Now, when you press a mouse key, the whole sequence appears, with the 
exception of
mouse wheel scrolling or focus reports (click out then into the console 
window) - here
only the first byte is seen until any other input.

Yes, no change. (And yesterday's snapshot mentioned in some other thread 
is not yet visible.)

Partially familiar...
Since mouse escape sequences are all generated in the same way but there 
is a difference
among them (the bug occurring with mouse scrolling and window focus 
switching),
I'm afraid it's not simply the console code. I suspect there is some 
subtle interference
between console code and Windows events (and I'm not familiar with 
Windows APIs).
I could at best try to find out which of the changes 1.7.9->1.7.10 made 
the issue appear.
We'll see...
