Weird chars appear unexpectedly in text files .... (solved!)

[cobaka]

Hello all & woof!

Weird things are happening on my desktop puppy.

The immediate context: I have a makefile open, (in Geany, of course).
Taking a break I went looking at photos of Maatsuyker Island - and I visited several pages on the web - photos of places etc.
Then I read a little more about "make" and re-directing IO before I returned to Geany.
Here is a snapshot. You can see it's a "make file" - but whoa!! I see additional text inserted into the file!

You can see it: https: etc
At the end you see the original line in the make file began: CFLAGS = (and so on).
And (yes!) web address is one of the photos/pages I visited. Nice photo eh?

This is a 'several times' experience. I had the same thing (additional text) in an open-document file. (LibreOffice 5.3)
Can anyone suggest what's going on here? Am I doing something wrong? Have I failed to attend Mass recently?

Middle-click? I can't imagine what else it could be. Select text to copy, middle-click to paste. It may be a loose mouse wheel or a touchpad configuration. I've configured one of the touchpad corners to serve as a middle button and trigger it sometimes inadvertently. If your puppy has a working clipit program sitting in the system tray, you can click its icon to see your clipboard history. The web address appeared in geany should be there too.

Водка? Немного вычислений под воздействием, м-м, вобака.
Мы поймали вас сейчас ха, ха, ха.

Да, @misko_2083 это правда! You caught me.
In Budapest vodka cost only $10.oo Here, in Australia, much more.

I forgot to mention my Puppy. uPupBB32

Thinking about other postings. @Burunduk
I don't know if I have a three button mouse. There isn't an obvious 3rd button, but maybe it's tied to the mouse wheel.
When I depress the wheel, I hear 'click'. [a short delay ... then] Oh, oh, oh! I just did an important scientific experiment! When I copy text and press the wheel - then the text in the 'copy buffer' - I just invented a thing called 'copy buffer' - appears/is pasted! So - I think your suggestion is correct in outline. Now I must discover the detail!! I think this one is solved!

Thank you!
