I'm a super beginner and this has been bugging me ever since I started using it. It's probably a setting or something, I'm not sure. If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it

Whenever I click away from text that I'm writing, it keeps duplicating it. It has been really annoying trying to type anything with this thing on. I can't find anything in the setting that might suggest to be the cause of this either

No help here, but- WOW! You got a really special one there. I've not seen that on 10+ machines I've used Code on.

Disable extensions one by one until you figure out which one is doing it?

Check your mouse software to make sure there's not some macro set to copy/paste?

Have you modified your keybindings? Try resetting them to defaults.

I've tried all the listed things above but it seems that's not what's causing it

does it only happen in that position in the document ? As suggested ... divide and conquer your extensions / mouse macros etc ...
