I assume this is a dup of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=MONO81050, right ?

I was about to say yes, and then I read the very top of his note...

he's saying that ReadKey(true) should echo the character, which goes
against what the docs say.

ReadKey(false) should echo, ReadKey(true) should not

Maybe I'm just mis-understanding what he is saying.

anyways, with the fix of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=MONO81050, our ReadKey() implementation
follows the specification.
