Default Trivia: Weird behavior in Chrome

MKron intitle:intitle:T-i8

If both iterations are highlighted... "intitle:intitle:" and
dragged, they change to "intitle_"...

intitle_MKron T-i8

Unless it has something to do with my Almighty Chrome extension
Stylebot or with voice-activated scripting, it is probably
repeatable on anyone else's machine (in Chrome).

Doesn't happen in Firefox.

Adding another word with a colon after it...

MKron dog:intext:intitle:T-i8

Dragging "dog:" does the same...

downloadMKron intext:intitle:T-i8

Apparently it has to do with the colon.

Highlighting and dragging multiple "words:" produces other weird
results. Weird but not that interesting.

I don't know if it's Chrome or if it's Windows 10, probably
chrome. Some strange behavior lately. But this one takes the
cake...

On YouTube. In the search field (text box). This is the text...

MKron intitle:intitle:T-i8

As you can see, the term "intitle:" is incorrectly repeated.

So, I highlight the first iteration of "intitle:". I begin to
click and drag that highlighted text to the beginning of the line,
so that it will end up immediately in front of the first word
"MKron".

After dragging that incorrectly placed iteration of "intitle:" to
the beginning of the line, after releasing mouse button, somehow
magically the line changes into this...

downloadMKron intitle:T-i8

Yep. Somehow the incorrectly placed iteration of "intitle:"
changes to "download" when it is dragged to the beginning of the
line.

The same weirdness repeats after doing an Undo.

I have seen weirder behavior in Windows, but had never seen that
one. I know a lot about Windows input and output, been using
macroing/scripting for decades, but doubt it's related. I do not
know where the word "download" came from. Do not recall recently
copying it.
