When searching in Scite for text, and the found text is marked in the file, this such marked text is transferred to the PRIMARY selection, messing up the clipboard with text which should never go there.

Scite 5.5.6-1 (Devuan)
Version 5.5.6   Scintilla:5.5.6   Lexilla:5.4.4
    compiled for GTK:3.24.49

Yes, found text is selected and thus becomes the primary selection. This is behaving as intended.
