sure - but I gave my best answer at the outset. The behavior which
you are describing won't show up by doing replay's, because it would
occur when you have input (from the keyboard) interfering with the
output.

repeating: if the cursor-key sequence of characters is misinterpreted
(for example due to timeouts), then fragments of the sequences will
echo as unexpected characters.
Incidentally, if an *output* splits up an escape sequence across
buffers in fflush's, then that can also open up holes in timing.
But I think that's less of concern...
