Tab character in dialog produced by make config isn't usable

Hi. I've recently installed FreeBSD for the first time and seem to have already screwed something up. The issue is that when I do a make install and it brings up a make config dialog, my tab characters don't appear to work. When I press tab, it moves the cursor to the right, rather than moving to the next option. However, I've found that if I ignore the visual indicator, I can still check boxes and then select "OK".

The weird thing is that if I run dialog directly, or even run make config directly, it works fine. It isn't just one port either; every one of the past 10+ dialogs have had this problem.

Some more info..

Immediately after installing FreeBSD, I didn't have this problem. I then installed sysutils/screen and shells/bash. I set bash as the default shell for root (and then changed it back to csh after reading about a possible issue if /usr doesn't mount). The issue remains regardless of whether root is using csh or bash.

Any advice? It really is quite annoying..
