Cursor doubles on screen

[Alessandro Rosa]

Hello Group,

I want to point to an annoying bug that sometimes appears while typing a text
in Scintilla: cursor duplicates itself in two parts of the text, with a random distance.
It seems to have no particular cause: it happens just while typing.
Such accident causes the same text to be inserted in two different places.

It's easy to fix this issue when the two parts are close. However, once happened
that they were distant and I found the same sentence typed near the bottom,
with realizing that the cursor had doubled.

This is multiple selection and it occurs when you hold the Ctrl key while clicking the mouse.

If you don't like it, you can turn it off by setting in user options:

selection.multiple=0
