Cursor Always moves back a character after space

When in the Visual Basic Editor I'm having the following
problem.

After I type a word I press the spacebar and then begin to
type the next word. However if I don't immediately press
another key the cursor automaticaly moves back a character
to the end of the previous word. Since I'm not the
fastest typer in the world I find that many of my words
get grouped together with no spaces. I'm assuming this is
a "feature" from Microsoft but I can't figure out how to
turn it off.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sean

It sounds like the effect of having an open form whose Timer event is
firing as you attempt to enter your code. The Timer event fires, the
code window momentarily loses focus, and the line you were working on
gets trimmed.

Check for such a form and close it before editing code.
 
You hit the nail on the head. Once I turned the timer on
my form off hte problem went away.

Thanks for lowering my blood pressure:)
