Actually, there's another issue with the same symptoms: 1- program A is launched from shell 2- program A starts another program B (for example winedbg when a fault occurs) 3- at this point, both A & B can read/write to the console 4- program A exits. As it way the group leader, B is set into the background and loses (read) access to the console. 5- When B exits, as it no longer has access to the console, the state of the console cannot be reset to normal
this was happening before the patch series, but as we didn't tweak the console, it was just fine (except that some program dies when in the background, eg winedbg) fix will not be 100% easy
This is probably what I see happening in starcraft 2 and world of warcraft. Both of these applications use a launcher, which in turn launches the actual game.
