Random pasting while typing

I am having trouble with my 16" Macbook Pro randomly pasting what ever I copied last to clipboard last as I type. Whether I am in Word, Pages, Wordpress, or Text Edit, it does not matter. I will be typing anything and all the sudden I will get a random paste. I have checked everything! I have checked to see if I am accidentally hitting the "paste shortcut" - Command+P. I have thought about my palm accidentally hitting touch pad but I have check settings on touch pad and there are no settings set up for pasting anywhere on Touch Pad. I have no idea what to do to fix this. Anyone have suggestions?


Macbook Pro 16"

Big Sur 11.1
