This moves the text cursor at the beginning, so arriving characters are stored in reverse order. Is it this that happens?
You can put PRINT statements in the event handlers to trace what controls take focus (and hence, the arriving characters). You can use Application.ActiveControl to know, at any time, what control has the focus. Anyway, try to use a single-shot timer instead of a WAIT: it could behave differently.
