There's an odd bug in cyclic paste. It's pretty easy to reproduce, though...

Summary:

The first time a given item from the cyclic paste menu is inserted over some selected text, if the inserted text is shorter than the replaced text then the cursor is advanced to where the end of the replaced text would be, rather than left just after the inserted text.

Reproduction:

1. enter this text:

a
bbb ccc

2. Select "a" and copy to clipboard
3. select "bbb"
4. press Ctrl+Shift+V
5. select "a" from the list.

Notice "bbb" is correctly replaced with "a", but the cursor is advanced to after the first "c".

As far as I can tell, this only seems to happen the first time you paste a given item from the list, and it doesn't appear to depend on the exact way any of the text is selected.
