I'd like to add that, while I'm not afflicted with the condition under
discussion, I have disabled the Wikipedia options to edit text on double
click because when I do want to just select and copy text, too often did I
miss-double-click and start editing when I didn't want to.

I am one of the highlighters-while-reading and know at least 2 others.
It would be interesting to see what people highlight and what not..
Actually there is a white paper on what the cause / effects of this are, it
basically means you more likely to *click*

Me too. People who have seen me do it call me weird. At least now I know I am
not alone. How long until an analytical company starts recording this info to

I too click and highlight text whilst I read it.
Can I suggest using a double click to turn readable text into editable text.
I have found this feature on a website I use. It is much more user friendly and
allows them to quickly edit the text.

I do this occasionally because it is a very useful way to highlight
something when you're talking to someone. I have also worked with several
people who do this more compulsively whenever reading.
In place editing is useful but should not be enabled just by clicking on
the text. It is always anno
I have a colleague who does this. Nfi on literature but I've seen it
happen.
Whilst I read without clicking, random editable stuff shits me to tears.
You end up making something editable by just clicking to bring a window to
front etc.
