I have the same problem.  Seems to have come with  3.2.2. Did not have the
problem prior to upgrading from 3.2.0.  I'm using an HP Vectra RS with
HP VGA card. After VPIX boots the cursor is in the right place at the end 
of the line, but with every character typed it returns to the lower left corner.

I am not aware of a fix (not even sure it's a bug.)
