Can you elaborate on this? I remember strange behavior on my PC (random
swallowing of approx. 30-50% of the characters typed on tty1 => login
~impossible on tty1) a few years ago, definitely related to slim. IIRC,
at that time probably somewhat paranoid me didn't troubleshoot (besides
the usual websearch magic) this any further but quietly switched over to
lightdm to avoid going even more crazy ;)

This is not meant to be about retroactively solving a no longer
reproducible bug, just my two trade beads worth of objective experience
with slim, plus some curiosity.
