I have the same problem with Xemacs in X; fine in Xemacs
-wn mode on virtual screens.
Mouse action as well as continuous up-cursor, and
sometimes up-paging. It does not seem to happen in down
movements.
Some ways which minimize hang to almost non-existence:
1. avoid mouse movements; use alt-arrows, alt-h, etc if
possible and don't auto-repeat.
2. Go to top of buffer regularly; I suspect it loses
track of the insert pointer.
3. Save the file every time you think of it
--regularly. Every time I pause, I save.
Saving the file seems to be the most reliable --I've
stopped cursing and started saving.
