Is that in the 'no problem' (vim -u NONE) or the problematic case?

If 'vim -u NONE' works properly and 'vim' doesn't, you should look for
what mappings are different between the two.

To make the comparison easier, you can try:

vim -u NONE
:redir > ~/vimnone.map.txt
:silent! map
:silent! map!
:redir END

vim (start how you normally start it)
:redir > ~/vim.map.txt
:silent! map
:silent! map!
:redir END

(Then compare the vim and vimnone .map.txt files.)
