Agreed, a more detailed description would greatly help us help you, but if
you're in the standard windows terminal emulator widget (command.com,
cmd.exe, powershell), then don't click in the window without first turning
on "quick edit" mode.  Otherwise the emulator will just act silly.

It's kind of astonishing that any computer company would allow such an
annoying bug to live so long.
