Opening chat window with "/" places cursor before "/"

When you use "/" to open the chat window in order to enter a command, the cursor appears to be placed after the "/" that is entered. However, whatever you type is inserted before the "/". It doesn't happen every time, but is very common. This is very inconvenient and annoying.

Steps to reproduce
1. In any world, type a / on the keyboard.
2. Type anything. Observe that it is inserted before the /.

I am also experiencing this bug.

The best workaround for anyone else checking this out is to push the right arrow key right after you hit the / key. Then type your command.

So this bug just makes you have to click on extra keys before typing commands. Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

Edit cause my workaround doesn't work. after hitting /, clicking right arrow does not stop the cursor from jumping to before the /. Very strange.

Bug is still present in beta build 1.2.10.1.

A better workaround is to type T/ to open the chat/command UI. This will leave the cursor positioned correctly.
It will also continue to work after the bug is fixed, so unlearning the habit after the bug is fixed won't be annoying all over again.
