One way to check is to temporarily rename your .exrc file. Also check /etc for a
vimrc (probably not a dot file--it helps in cases like this, if you
mention your distribution). And, of course, your home directory for a
.vimrc. (You can also log in as another user, to see if it's system wide
or just for the one user.)

For example, Arch Linux, my current favorite Linux, has an /etc/vimrc
which has all sorts of (to me) annoying behaviors.

Hope one of these ideas helps.

Wesley: I can't tell you how sorry I am that I allowed this to happen.
Cordelia: I believe it was Faith who allowed her elbow to collide with
my face.

Wesley: At least you only got the elbow.
Cordelia: Well, if it's any consolation, it looks like you were
tortured by a much larger woman
