To test a weird response I have created an application. It has 3 edit boxes and one pushbutton.

The pushbutton has this code for mouse down;

  //PushButton 1
  dim testValue as string= "1.2"
  EditField1.seltext=testValue
  EditField2.seltext=testValue
  EditField3.seltext=testValue

When I run it and press the button it fills the editfield with "1.2".

However if I press the button repeatedly it appends the string (1.21.21.2, etc.) instead of replacing it.

To me that isn't right.

It's correct.
It's replacing the "selected text" but since there is not the effect is to append
Just use

  EditField1.text=testValue
  EditField2.text=testValue
  EditField3.text=testValue
        
Also if I make testValue a double,
dim testValue as double= 1.2

  (Logical for a number) I get an error, string expected.

Correct.
Editfields take text, not numbers.
If you want to put a double in to the edit field you need to turn it into text using FORMAT
