Ctrl key combination weird behavior
-
For some reason, Ctrl combinations behave strange.
Here is an example:
Write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.
Select the word “lazy”.
Press Ctrl+C.
Go to the space between “quick” and “brown”.
Press Ctrl+V and add a space.Expected result: “The quick lazy brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
Actual result: “The quick lazyv brown fox jumps over the c dog”I can give you the debug info.
This appears even after a reinstall and in the portable version.
Is this something I accidentally turned on or is this a bug?
-
Then give us the debug info.
With 7.5.8 32-bit, the sequence you described behaved exactly as expected: there was no extra v pasted, and the original lazy wasn’t overwritten by the c.
Are you sure your fingers aren’t poorly timeed (isn’t slipping), and you let go of CTRL before the C or V, so it types a C or V afterward your action? that’s what it looks like.
-
(and if isn’t the timing of your fingers, does the same thing happen in windows notepad?)
-
No, and Windows Notepad gives proper results. Actually, somehow it got fixed.

Sorry we couldn’t find the root cause, but glad it’s stopped.
