I think I've seen this outside Rcmdr too, possibly with "R-g tk" but I 
can't seem to reproduce it now.
I don't think it's your problem, but if you get a handle on where the 
issue lies, please let us know. (Of course, you can always just reset 
the terminal or blind-type "stty sane", but it would be nicer to get rid 
of the issue altogether).
