May be a function of your window manager or bugs in Lesstif.  It
looks like you're running Lesstif.  Remove the lesstif and
lesstif-devel packages and install motif and motif-devel instead.
See if that solves it.  Here with OpenMotif and the FVWM2 window
manager, everything works as it should.

What version of Xastir?  Earlier versions required a configure flag
"--with-dbfawk" to turn on that feature.  Latest versions try to
enable it by default.

It looks like you're running CVS Xastir or a recent devel snapshot.
Check your config.log file to see if there are more clues as to why
dbfawk isn't getting enabled.
