Strangely, it sounds like 'revins' is getting set. You can check

:verbose set ri?

This might be an artifact of some locale setting that thinks
you're typing in a right-to-left language. Or perhaps the
particular file in question has a modeline that calls for
reverse-insertion.

You can read more at

:help 'ri'
:help modeline
:help ins-reverse
(as well as the remainder of the rileft.txt helpfile
that second help-target drops you in)
