This annoying bug has been fixed in Fote's patches
(http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/fote), and I think in the current development
code (http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/current/) too.

Give the development code a try. It's compilation system is based on GNU
autoconf, it should give better results..

Many native curses are broken, try ncurses or slang. The development
code's autoconf does some checks for broken curses implementation, so it
should give better results, I guess.

PS Note that the development code and Fote's patches are really
development code, so it may can be less stable than normal lynx releases. 
(My personal experience is that it's both fairly stable nevertheless.)
