 This behavior does happen as your describe it, but when choosing Return to Previous Menu instead of pressing TAB to hide the menu, then it doesn't happen.
Lets wait to hear from others about this issue.

 The issue here still exists, even if the text is completely buffered, it appears when you use the old layout (-ui simple) and since 0.153 the buffer of what is typed shows when TAB is hit to bring you back to game select. The real question is, should TAB be allowed at all or maybe the new game selection be cancelled in the case of trying to excape the game selection?
