When I do viw with the cursor on a one-letter word, that one-letter
word becomes visually selected. What is 'selection' set to? (":verbose
set sel?" will tell you the value and — if other than by default or
from the keyboard — where it was set.)

My vimrc includes the following, BTW:
" :behave tonymec
if exists('+selectmode')
set slm=mouse,key
endif
if exists('+mousemodel')
set mousemodel=popup
endif
if exists('+keymodel')
set keymodel=startsel
endif
if exists('+selection')
set selection=inclusive
endif

Best regards,
Tony.
