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.
