I'm having something of an issue with the Japanese IME in Windows Vista (Home Premium edition) that I hope someone can help me with. Most of the improvements to the IME I like and am getting used to, but there seems to be some kind of insert or overwrite function that is annoying me. It's happened on a few occasions, but here's the specific thing that's causing it right now.

I'm on page two of a three page document in the Works Word Processor. I want to begin a new line and have one full-width space before any text. I hit return and then the space key, and instead of simply inserting a space, it inserts the space and highlights the next space. If I type anything at this point, it will jump to the next line of text, and if I hit space again it'll select the next phrase. If I hit the left key and then the right key after inserting the space, then it deselects it and I can write as normal, but it's a frustrating thing to have to work around and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disable it. I've made sure that I don't have the insert key selected by mistake, and I've gone through the Knowledge Base on the Microsoft site, plus the help files for the IME and just can't seem to find it.

Help? If my explanation doesn't make sense, please let me know and I'll add some images to explain what I mean. Thanks in advance!
