Describe the bug
For the last few weeks, there has been an annoying issue with the String Manipulation plugin in JetBrains IDEs.
When I select some text and then click, the selected block is deleted.
Also, word selection does not work correctly. A double-click should select the full word, but it does not.
In the attached videos, I am not pressing any keyboard key, only using the mouse buttons.
This issue happens only in JetBrains IDEs. Other text editors work correctly.
It happens across all projects I use, and I was also able to reproduce it in DataGrip.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open any project in a JetBrains IDE with the String Manipulation plugin enabled.
  2. Select a block of text in the editor.
  3. Click with the mouse.
  4. Observe that the selected text is deleted.

Additional case:

  1. Double-click on a word in the editor.
  2. Observe that the full word is not selected as expected.

Expected behavior

  • Clicking after selecting text should not delete the selected block.
  • Double-clicking a word should select the full word.

Actual behavior

  • Clicking after selecting text deletes the selected block.
  • Double-click word selection does not work correctly.
