This may be way off base, but the info could be useful anyway.
(I've only seen this behaviour on Sun OS 3.4 under suntools)

If your tty structures (as reported by stty -everything)
have tostop set and tabs unset (i.e. -tabs) then you will
experience things like you describe whenever you invoke
cmdtool or dbxtool.  This bug is related to text sub windows
(ones with scroll bars and the edit menu).  Other tools
(such as MAGIC) may trigger the same bug.

Look at the output of stty and see if that might be the
problem.  Good luck.
