I'm no 1000 expert (or lotus expert) but ...

I'd be skeptical of that diagnosis.  Has it always done that or just
started?  Does another 1000 EX do the same thing?  Surely (don't call
me shirley), everyone has heard of screen snow, is that what you got?
Maybe lotus is using blanking before moving the cursor?

I don't know but I think bad video ram would look a lot different.
