I open a text document in "leafpad" copy to system clipboard and
paste from there to emacs, and the problem shows up.

I open a web page, copy some text to the system clipboard and then
paste it into emacs, and the problem again shows up. 

One commonality, I use "simpleclip" which liaises between the system
clipboard and the emacs buffer.
