This is the problem. You can't use the Drivers, CRT and Video unit together. 
Each of them tries to catch keystrokes, and they will randomly receive them.
(depending on thread usage).

You should use only Video or only CRT or only Drivers 
(though it can be that drivers and video work together)

It will still cause problems, because the C library also will interfere with the 
Video and CRT units...

It's planned to base the CRT unit on the video unit (so they would work together), 
but until now no-one had time.
