I reported this problem a while back (v9i382):

What is happening is that SunView is going into "secondary selection".
The keyboard driver has (erroneously) decided that the Paste key is being
held down, presumably because it missed a key-up event. The fix is to run
clear_functions (for which there is a man page).  I would recommend adding
this to your root menu, under "Services->Stop Underlining".  According to
Guy Harris, The SunView 1 Beginner's Guide (which I don't see in my 386i
manual set) mentions secondary selection in the index.  Sorry about the
late followup.
