John,

We've seen this effect in the past, too.  I've always thought this was
caused by the (at that time) older version of WorldView in combination with
SunOS 4.1.* and OpenWindows.  Probably some kind of key binding (xmodmap)
problem. We are now mainly using the latest version of WorldView (which
comes with the Synopsys software) on Solaris 2.5 and both OpenWindows and
CDE.  To get rid of this problem in the past I can remember we added some
lines to the Iview setup file:

Iview*defaultVirtualBindings:   osfCancel    : <Key>Escape    \n\
                                osfLeft      : <Key>Left      \n\
                                osfUp        : <Key>Up        \n\
                                osfRight     : <Key>Right     \n\
                                osfDown      : <Key>Down      \n\
                                osfPageUp    : <Key>F29       \n\
                                osfPageDown  : <Key>F35       \n\
                                osfBackSpace : <Key>BackSpace \n\
                                osfDelete    : <Key>Delete    \n\
                                osfInsert    : <Key>Insert    \n\
                                osfCopy      : <Key>F16       \n\
                                osfCut       : <Key>F20       \n\
                                osfPaste     : <Key>F18

Hope this helps in finding a solution to the problem.
