What exact command did you use to create this mapping? It could be a
result of using "i" to re-enter insert mode, if this is what you are
doing. To see this effect, just edit a buffer with some text, position
the cursor somewhere near the end of a long line, and type
i<esc>i<esc>i<esc>... repeatedly to see the cursor moving backwards.
If this is your problem, try using <C-O> or <C-\><C-O> in your mapping
instead of <esc>...<i>. See :help i_CTRL-O and immediately below.
