Recently, my old copy of LyX broke, and I had to download and reinstall the newest version (2.14, on Windows 7). Since that time, I have been experiencing strange behavior with the copy/paste function. It seems that any text I highlight (either with the mouse or by holding shift and the arrow keys) is automatically copied to the clipboard, even when I do not press Ctrl+C. Sometimes, LyX seems even to copy large chunks of text to the clipboard even when I do not highlight it, for instance when I scroll through a large amount of material.
Is there a way to turn this behavior off? Am I missing something very simple? It does not seem to matter what keybindings file I use. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

We see some reports about this on Windows, but I've never seen this on Ubuntu. Do you happen to have a clipboard manager installed? Weird things can happen apparently if you do.
