Incorrect word count from cut/pasting between documents?

[Kuiriel]

Has anyone else experienced the daily statistics word count going up higher than it should while copying and pasting between documents?

There appears to be a bug in copy pasting text between notes. The word count does not seem to consistently go down from a cut, though it typically goes up with a paste. Despite only writing a few hundred words today, I have pasted several hundred more, and so my word count for 'today' is 500 higher than actuality.

This is extremely difficult to reproduce accurately, and I'll update this post or add a comment once I'm able to actually see it happen with any particularly consistent pattern.

I think I experienced it with Daily Stats as well, though that had the problem of 'locking' files in Dropbox while I was working so they couldn't be uploaded. I wonder if that .obsidian\vault-stats.json file being continually updated in Dropbox is related to the issue.
