It's purposely designed to do that so you can type letters when just  
using a keypad on a remote control. (You're supposed to keep pressing  
the key until the character you want is highlighted, then wait for it  
to accept the character, then move on.)

I agree it's annoying, but it would be even more annoying to have to  
plug in a keyboard every time you wanted to enter a letter.
