VS2008 copies to clipboard on double-click

Question

Hello, since some days ago I have a problem with VS2008 in a daily task.

Every time I double click a word in the text editor, it goes automatically to the clipboard (as if I pressed CTRL+C after the double-click), which is really annoying.

I've googled but I found nothing. I've search through VS2008's options and found nothing.

I don't remember clicking on such an option (I wouldn't have done so). Maybe I did without being aware of, or maybe it was a keyboard shortcut that activated it.

How can I turn off this option?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Is it possible that some key on your keyboard has been accidentally stuck up.

I had this weird behavior a few times and found that the keyboard's control key was stuck down.

Probably you are having the same problem. Can't think of any other thing.

Answer 2

Have you got any specific software installed for the mouse? (Logitech ones sometimes come with software that let you configure gestures per app)

Answer 3

Do you have some addins installed? Maybe something like coderush or refactor could cause this?

Answer 4

Maybe you have Visual Assist X or Resharper installed that could be malfunctioning or misconfigured, try disabling them.

Answer 5

I've found it... It was an old dictionary software that, when running, was monitoring for doublie-clicks and the clip-board, to do automatic searches...
