Typed text being copied to clipboard

Sometimes when I left click and hold and drag left on the track pad to highlight and copy text, it will accidentally paste a bit of text that I have recently typed but never copied? This issue has occurred ever since I started using Qubes a few months ago, and has continued to happen occasionally in all vm's to my knowledge despite reinstalling. I've used Firefox, Brave, and Opera and it doesn't seem to be browser related.

Anyone else ever experience this? Is it maybe a bug in Qubes? Running the latest version on a Purism Librem 15 V4 laptop.

Did you select that bit of text before? Maybe you are accidentally doing
a middle-click which pastes your last selected text (on that same VM).

No, although I do think I sometimes might be middle clicking, but it's definitely not text I've selected.
