Thanks to some off list advice, I think I have tracked this problem down. It doesn't appear to be RUMlogNG because it also occurs with the K3 utility. (Note: I found thi problem before communicating with Tom DL2RUM.) Here's my message to support describing the problem:

When running the K3 utility (Mac version, but the problem might also occur with Windows and Linux), with the terminal window open, and having the P3/SVGA data display turned on, both the P3/SVGA and the terminal window lose characters during RTTY decode. The correct characters appear on the K3 display.

Turning P3/SVGA data display off clears up the characters in the terminal window, and switching to one of the other windows in the K3 utility clears up the problem with the P3/SVGA.

Simular problems occur using RUMlogNG's contest mode for RTTY.

Given the easy workaround, this problem isn't super high priority, but if it will be with us for a while, people should learn about the workaround.
