2. Select some text
3. Hold Ctrl key
4. While holding Ctrl key, Left click and drag the text to another location
5. Release left mouse button and Ctrl.
6. Text will be copied to new location.
7. Left click elsewhere to deselect the text
8. Text will not be deselected on first click.

I will try the latest release and report back.

I can confirm it as fixed. My apologies. A book project has required me to use an older version.
