The right joystick button on my PC corresponds to Button 2 on my Coco3, real or 
MESS emulated. The left joystick button on my PC corresponds to Button 1 on the 
Coco.

No spaces are generated on my Coco3 by either Button 1 or 2 nor with MESS 1.58 
with the PC joystick buttons.

Exactly what were you doing when you got "a phantom <SPACE>", whatever that is? 
How do you have MESS configured regards joysticks 1 & 2?
