Ctl + Click + Drag on Charts now creates a Stop Order...?

I make use of Horizontal Rays for points of interest on my charts. Sometimes they have been automatically copied from higher time frame charts.
A shortcut I discovered that I make much use of is to Ctl + Drag the ray to a new position which duplicates the drawing in the process. From there my Right Click menu is set up to be able to change its properties if necessary.

As of this morning, using this technique created a bunch of unwanted orders on the chart before I realized what was going on. This has happened in the past but I can't remember the cause or how I fixed it.
Does anyone know what I may have inadvertently changed, or how to change it back?
(I generally place orders from the chart DOM but sometimes use my Right + Click menu to place orders on the chart as well).

Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you have the following setting set to "Yes":
Chart Settings: Extend Chart DOM Across Entire Chart When Using Ctrl(Buy) / Shift(Sell) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)
