VBA Editor behavior

I've been working with Access for five years now, and I've come across a
behavior in one of them that I haven't been able to figure out. If I try to
edit code in the VBA editor after I've done any processing in the db, each
time I press a key, the editor acts as if it's doing an auto syntax check,
changing the text color of the line to red. Also, while this is happening,
if I press space, the editor immediately deletes the space character and
moves back to the previous character position. The only info I've found on
this is that it may have to do with an open form that has a timer event
firing, but that doesn't seem to be the case in this database (I've checked
the entire db for timer events, and there are none).

Any thoughts?!?
 
This happens if a form that is open while you are editing code has code
running in its Timer event procedure.
 
Actually, that's not it. I mentioned in my original post that that is not
the problem, as I have no timer events anywhere in the entire application.
 
Sorry I missed that. I'm afraid that's the only thing I've ever heard of
that causes this behaviour. Anyone else?
