front end error when making boxes

Dear Mathgroup,

If a user makes a mistake and types this into the front end:
BoxData[FractionBox["1", "2"]] // DisplayForm

Instead of typing, say:
FractionBox["1", "2"] // DisplayForm

An error report is produced, which is fine.

However, on my version of Mathematica (5.0, Windows XP SP2), this
causes the home and end keys to no longer jump to the beginning and
end of a line, respectively.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thank you for your time,
