What's Wrong?

When typing in the CLI each character typed causes the screen to quickly scroll through entire conversation making it extremely difficult to type anything quickly. Does not matter the key used, can be a letter, backspace, arrow key.

What Should Happen?

The console should just allow me to type without scrolling the entire conversation.
