Selects more text than what is highlighted

on DW4 (I know outdated but it still does what I need)

In the code view when I highlight something and hit ctrl-C it highlights the rest of the adjacent code and copies all of it.

for example if I just select picture.gif from the below code as soon as I hit ctrl-C all of it gets highlighted and copied

<img src="picture.gif" alt="pictre" width="161" height="100">

If I go to another non-dreamweaver window and copy anything on that page then go back to dreamweaver it will allow me to select just the text I want to copy but only one time then it goes back to selecting the entire chunk of code.

it just started this morning.

ideas?

Whenever something "just starts going wrong" in CS versions, clearing the program cache and/or restoring preferences will typically take care of it...

Clear Cache File: Deleting a corrupted cache file

Restore Preferences: Restore preferences in Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, and CS5.5

Do you mean Macromedia DW4, or Adobe DW CS4?
