I'm doing a login screen (temporally very similar to MysticOS) but when the user writes a character in the user or password it deletes all the line.

This is how it is before write:

And this is after write (it happens even with only one character)

I tried with io.read() and read() but it's the same.
How can I fix it?

Sorry for my bad English.

The problem is that read() deletes the line from the cursor position to the end each time it redraws, so you'll have to make your own function to read.
Take a look at the read function in bios.lua (inside .minecraft/mods/ComputerCraft/lua) to see how it works.

Thanks, I make a new api with the new read() function and it works.
