I understand that by a slight drag of the mouse the file is selected. But
what I am talking about is that after the paste operation, it just kept
producing more copies without stopping. When we got to 87 copies of the same
file(times about 20 different pics), we were able to stop it by shutting
down the computer. I still think perpetual copying is a bug.
