I have experienced similar - sometimes when I click on an editor when 
text is selected Wing duplicates the text and places
it at the click place. This seems to happen when the click occurs just 
after the selected text.  I have always thought it was an emacs thing 
whose usefulness was apparent to users of same. Perhaps it is? Anyway it 
has been around a while but I have never managed to reproduce it.
