check your /usr/share/vim/vimrc file for these:
set nocompatible " Use Vim defaults instead of 100% vi compatibility
set backspace=indent,eol,start " more powerful backspacing
or just stick a .vimrc in your home directory with these two lines
That might help.

Forgot something. You probably don't have a /usr/share/vim/vimrc file.
Do this to get a .vimrc file in your home directory:
cp /usr/share/vim/vim70/vimrc_example.vim ~/.vimrc
