You can try to bisect your init file: comment first have, if effect persists then it comes from other half; if effect is gone then it came from commented half. In case one leave first half commented and now additionally comment first half (a quarter of complete file) of uncommented second half and test again – until you've found the culprit line. If case two was true, then uncomment the commented first half of the init file and comment its second half plus comment the first half (a quarter of the whole file) of the now uncommented first half and test again – until the culprit line is found.

You may find that there is no culprit – except your X server and maybe the window manager. When you select some text with the mouse the X server may serve as the copier and insert a copy of the selection into GNU Emacs' ring of copied or deleted items while the yank command has a previously taken private copy of the ring's last element in its memory. This one is inserted. After that the yank command finds the just inserted copy of the selection as the youngest element in the ring and will insert that one.
