I have been a user of dosbox for sometime now, and love it but recently i have been having a weird problem, everything i type has the last letter cutoff, for example I type Exit it reads it as exi, so now i would have to type exitt for it to read exit.

what is your dosbox version and where have you got it from?
what is your Operating System?
what are your PC specifications?
what games have problems?

enclose your dosbox's config file
