[bug-gtypist] Inconsistent Errant Key Press Behavior

The behavior of the program is inconsistent when the wrong key is
pressed during an exercise. I will explain with an example.

Let's say the lesson is asking for the following line:

asdf

If the first key you press is 'x', it will show this:

asdf
^

That is, it inserts one character and marks it as an error.

However, if the first key you press is 's', it will show this:

asdf
^s

So, one key press has now inserted two characters. It seems to do this
regardless of where in the exercise you are.

As another example, if it's asking for:

fjdk

And you type 'j' and 'k', you will get this:

fjdk
^j^k

That's 4 characters after only 2 key presses.

I've observed this with both the default lessons and the ru.typ
lessons. This really seems like a bug as it can really screw up your
position when typing quickly.

I am using gtypist 2.9.2 in Sabayon 11 out of the Sabayon repositories
with equo install gtypist. I neglected to include this information in
my prior mail which was about not being able to navigate between
exercises while using a non-English keyboard layout.

Thanks for reading.
