Hi,
 the bug you describe keep reappearing and it is probably due to a  
bad interaction of TeXmacs with the Qt libraries installed in your  
system.

Could you tell us the version of Qt you are using?

Unfortunately it is still not clear to us if this bug is due to  
TeXmacs or to Qt. In many installations the Qt version works very well  
but in some (included the last Qt 4.6 under Mac) we have this very  
unpleasant bug which keeps reappearing. We planned some efforts to  
provide within a month or two a beta version of TeXmacs/Qt which  
should be usable on most systems so we hope to remove this bug in this  
occasion.

Best
Massimiliano Gubinelli
