Thanks for your tip, Ben, but setting 'winaltkeys=no' has made no difference.
There's another space-related anomaly that I suspect may shed light on my issue. One keymapping has stopped working. I have 'noremap <leader><space> :noh<cr>' in my _vimrc, but instead of suppressing search highlighting it pauses for a second and then moves the cursor one character to the right. Do you think this gives us a clue?
