    Steps to repoduce:

    File->New

    One first line type:
    test1 test2 test3

    Position cursor at start of line

    Start Macro Recorder Ctrl+Shift+R

    Press Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow to select the text "test1"

    Press Ctrl+C to copy the text to clipboard

    Press Ctrl+Right Arrow to move to start of next word, cursor will now be at the beginning of "test2"

    Press Ctrl+V to paste text from clipboard.  The first line should now read:

    test1 test1test2 test3

    Press Ctrl+Shift+R to stop recording

    Press Ctrl+Shift+P to playback

    Expected result:
    test1 test1test2 test2test3

    Actual result:
    test1 test1test2 t[NUL][NUL][NUL][SI]est3

    Where the NUL and SI in brackets above are the white on black text that notepad++ uses to show non-printing characters

    Has only started happening since I upgraded to 4.9.  Upgraded to 4.9.2, still broken.

      Correction:

      Actual result:
      test1 test1test2 t[NUL][NUL][NUL][SI]test3

      (Was missing the leading t from "test3" in the OP)
