 I believe you are right, this is an issue when using certain input
 methods. I wonder which Input Method you are using. The Microsoft Pinyin
 IME is shipped with Microsoft Windows 7 series. And It is the default IME
 of Simplified Chinese. This is a CJK related issue.[[BR]]
 I've just installed the latest version of MSPY IME from M$'s site. The bug
 still exists.[[BR]]

 I've tried some popular Simplified Chinese IMEs, the results are as
 follows: [[BR]]

 Google Pinyin IME[http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/ime/pinyin/] is '''not
 affected'''. [[BR]]

 QQ Pinyin IME[http://py.qq.com/] is '''not affected'''.[[BR]]

 Microsoft Pinyin IME([http://www.microsoft.com/china/pinyin/]) is
 '''affected seriously'''. [[BR]]

 Sougou Pinyin IME[http://pinyin.sogou.com/] is '''affected
 seriously'''.[[BR]]
 NOT AFFECTED here means missing the first keystrocks only, while AFFECTED
 SERIOUSLY means backspace and enter keystrocks are ignored till restarting
 the program.[[BR]]
 BTW, Sougou Pinyin and QQ Pinyin are the most popular IMEs in China.[[BR]]

 Wish my experiment would help.
