Any selected text is automatically deleted—what's going on?

Mac OS 12.7.2

Macbook Pro 13 inch (2017)


I've had the weirdest problem—whenever I select text, in any capacity (and across applications), it immediately is deleted. In fact, any text before my cursor is deleted, as if the delete key is stuck. When I reboot, it's all fine for a while and then at some point the auto-deleting starts again. It's maddening! What is this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7
