For many years I have been using the CD-ROM Oxford English Dictionary, Version 3.1. Since December 2012 (at which time I was using Emacs 22.3), the two have interacted in a bizarre way: Whenever the OED and Emacs are both running, if in Emacs I make a deletion, the computer switches to the OED window and attempts to look up the character or string deleted. (That of course is an intolerable distraction and means that I have to kill the OED after each use of it.) This behavior has survived the upgrade from Emacs 22.3 to 24.3. It does not occur with deletions in other software such as Conkeror and Microsoft Word, so I *suppose* it is a peculiarity of Emacs.

It is = a bug in an OED feature I had been unaware of. The way to make it go away = is to click on Options & then unclick "Auto-search from clipboard".
