This is not a bug, it's a feature :)

We have to query the terminal emulator for default colors, pixel/cell ratio, etc. before starting. The terminal emulator replies on STDIN - and so while it replies as a user you can't type anything (because it will get mixed up with the reply).

Up until now we did this "under the hood" and so you didn't see anything but would lose input if you typed quickly. Now we have a loading screen. It's 0.5 seconds, in any case...

These values cannot be cached somehow?
