How are you selecting? Mouse, touch pad, ...?

Be careful not to let your hand drag across the touch pad. That can change your selections.

If you are using a mouse, disable your touch pad.

Use the keyboard shortcuts for menu actions. Moving the mouse/pointer to the menu can create or modify a selection of you are not careful and lucky.

Clean your mouse. Make sure the mouse is free of lint, fuzz, and crud.

Try using keyboard commands only for selecting and editing.

If none of this helps, reply to this message and we will try some other things.

Good luck.
