I don't have this problem at home (K6) or here at work (Pentium II), but 
according to the Endlisnis description it seems to be related to the video 
stuff.
I need more information from both of you:

1) Video Board used.
2) Version of the Video BIOS.
3) Do you have any VESA TSR loaded?
4) Version of the Windows video driver.
5) What video mode are you using? is just 80x25?
6) Are you running the editor inside a window?
and similar information.
