Try pressing the key twice to close it if it is a dead key (i.e. creates accents).

If that doesn't help, please provide more details (OS version, keyboard layout etc).

That behaviour was deliberately put in there by michi_cc in r26002. The commit message says:
"-Fix: [OSX] If the console hotkey is a dead key, require two presses to toggle the console, allowing input of accented characters."

If I remove lines 315 and 316 in event.mm the problem goes away, but of course I can't type § or ` in the console then. What it does at the moment is obviously not what the commit message says. Those keys are no dead keys on this computer, meaning that they should close the console on first press. Would that be a real solution, though? Can we be sure that we don't need those keys in the console?
