Spectral display looping glitch?

Recently I have been having a very strange issue when editing audio after recording it. The audio sounds fine for the first few minutes, regardless of the effects/adjustments, but seemingly out of nowhere the entire audio file is completely adjusted. It becomes a strange out of order repeated short loop. where various parts of the track are just combined together. I have not been adjusting the audio file(s) any differently than I have done in the past, so the sudden occurrence of this random looping is strange.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? The issue is very apparent when looking at the Waveform, which I have attached to this post.

Also for what its worth the actual WaveSound file is adjusted as well, not just the audition project.
