What happens when you type C-Space?

Firstly, a better place to get help on Emacs is probably gnu.emacs.help,
where I've cross-posted and set follow-ups to.

Almost certainly, the problem isn't being caused by Emacs itself, but by
the terminal software you're using.  So tell us, please, ....

What operating system are you using?  What windowing system (if any) are
you using?  Anything else in your system that might be relevant?  What
version of Emacs are you using?

All the best!
