I imagine this is a scalar interactor (built on the Number widget
that dxui uses quite a bit).  You click on it and the little
box erases its content and seems to pull out?  If so, one work-around
would be to select the interactor then use a Control Panel menu bar
option to change the style of the interactor to Text.  (You give
up the use of the incr/decr value since you have to type in the 
value you want.)  Although, if this is a scalar interactor built on
the Number widget, then I would also wonder if this is really the
only place in dxui where this trouble exists. (I'm guessing its
cause is an interaction between dxui and the window manager
you're using.)  You might also try running dxui from the command
line so that you could report any messages going to stderr or stdout.
