This is a known problem with many Motif-based applications, arising from a bug in recent versions of Xorg. It has been corrected upstream, and it is likely that this problem will be fixed when the ports freeze ends shortly after the release of FreeBSD 7.4 and 8.2, if not before. If you can't wait, you can try using the patches from: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=154510 b.
