Comment 7 for bug 217134

I have encountered this problem as well, using both cmd.exe and Windows PowerShell.

Symptoms:
-----------------
When trying to break a Bazaar lock (specifically on a branch hosted by Launchpad), bzr.exe hangs on prompt and does not accept single keystrokes. Double keystrokes (in very quick succession) accept the second keystroke only. Holding down a particular key will result in entering that keystroke repeatedly, though I suspect the first instance is being ignored (as with the other scenarios). Ctrl-C is also ignored, meaning Task Manager -> End Task bzr.exe.

Version information:
-----------------------------
Bazaar (bzr) 1.17
  Python interpreter: C:\Program Files\Bazaar\python25.dll 2.5.4
  Python standard library: C:\Program Files\Bazaar\lib\library.zip
  bzrlib: C:\Program Files\Bazaar\lib\library.zip\bzrlib
  Bazaar configuration: C:\Documents and Settings\sarmitage\Application Data\bazaar\2.0
