DETH has a friendly GUI, but some things may take longer to do then with other level editors. Since I only use it to browse levels, not create my own, I am quite satisfied with it. Plus, it's for DOS and I like it.
The only problem that I have with it is with HETH. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to read the "Deathkings" levels properly, as they are named MAP41-MAP60 and these maps don't exist in the original IWAD, so it won't load them. I tried inserting dummy maps into the IWAD and then each time I loaded HEXDD.WAD it would bump out saying that "PWAD is not understandable". And as it is with so many DOOM stuff, no one had ever bothered to fix it... Like with Heretic and Hexen EXE editors, and NWTPro which were potentially powerful utilities never completed...
But enough about my problems.
Nexus, about your problem, the first and only thing I can think of from the top of my head is a certain setting in DETH.INI called 'FakeCursor' which can either be enabled or disabled. If you haven't tried yet, try setting it to the opposite of what it's now.
You can also try changing resolutions and other graphical options in DETH.INI or using a different mouse driver. I am using CuteMouse which is a very good DOS mouse driver.
