Based on the above sentences I have to ask whether your keyboard is actually
working correctly at all.

I would:

1. Try the same application on Chimaera or even Beowulf.

2. Try typing your input into a console window, copy it from there, and then
paste into the text fields; see whether any corruption occurs.

3. Try an on-screen keyboard instead of a hardware keyboard; see if the
results are the same.

4. Contact the developer of the application to see whether:

a) anyone else has reported something similar

b) s/he can suggest a way to debug the problem (fairly likely, I suspect,
given that you can compile it yourself from source)
