Which version of CQP are you running?

It's probably a bug in your terminal emulator.  I used to have similar problems, but don't remember which particular terminal program they appeared in.

If you're running CQP v3.0, it's possible that the editline library used for command-line editing isn't compatible with all terminals. Perhaps upgrading to v3.4+, which uses GNU Readline instead, might help.

Best,
Stefan
