-using HandyShopper v3.2 build 6516 on a Dell Axim X3i

I've been experiencing a text bug for a while (since upgrade to build
6516), but haven't seen anyone else ever mention it before.

If I'm entering some text (typically on the 'Notes' tab, but could also
be an item's Description or Custom Text or anywhere else in H.S.) and
try to insert text before some already-existing text, the new text that
I add 'overlaps' the existing text on the same current line, making it
unreadable.

To be more accurate, the existing text to the right of the insertion
point *is* shifted to the right, it's just that each character-space
from the insertion-point onwards does not 'refresh' automatically. New
text overlaps existing text, and text to the right overlaps the existing
text to the right as it is shifted with each new text character added.
- Only the current line is affected (text doesn't 'wrap' while it's
overwriting itself).
- Selecting(highlighting by dragging over) the block of text 'fixes' the
overlap issue and makes the selected text legible, as each
character-space is 'refreshed' properly upon selection.

I've uploaded a photo of my screen showing an occurrence of the issue:

In the above example, my existing text in the Note was "5kg @ Walmart -
$6.97 March 26, 2010" and I'd just inserted the word "was"  prior to the
date, as I wanted to record the fact that the price had changed
considerably. The letters 'w','a','s' overlapped the space occupied by
the three characters "$6." and at the same time the "$" and everything
to the right of it shifted to the right overlapping what was already
there.

This issue ONLY happens in HandyShopper - I have tested other apps and
text-insertion works normally.
