Oh, and to add an insult to the injury, I was using a collaborative editing tool. So I was able to see the person:

1) Select All (most likely followed by the copy) 2) Type the answer 3) Make an obvious mistake when they type else block, before the if

i have a really annoying habit of constantly double-clicking to highlight whatever i'm reading or looking at.

i've actually been called out for it in a systems design interview, under the presumption i was copying my notes into another window, but was glad they called me out so that i could explain myself

That was me interviewing someone yesterday. The telltale select all is so cringe.

Some people compulsively highlight what they are reading.

I just selected your reply here while reading. Some people use mouse selection as a visual aid to keep track of where they're reading. It's there, and it's handy!

(I also just select randomly sometimes. Not even quite sure why.)
