When typing commands into the REPL, it often does not transmit the full attribute resulting in a an error

Another user reports the case that characters get added too eg microbit.accelerometer.get_x() produces
microbit.accelerometer.gget_x()
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the missing or duplicated characters while typing commands into the WebUSB REPL, then trace how REPL input is captured and transmitted. Done means commands such as microbit.accelerometer.get_x() arrive complete and without duplicated characters, with the reported error no longer occurring.
