The OP hasn't even listed the version of Sigil that s/he's using. Maybe this problem only occurs in Sigil 0.6.x.

@pete6055 & @montanayank: Since nobody else could reliably reproduce the problem that you're having, it's most likely caused by a corrupted/outdated Sigil installation and/or third-party software/malware running in the background.

I'd recommend the following:
  1. In Sigil, select Edit > Preferences > Open Preferences Location. This will open the Sigil preferences folder.
  2. Close Sigil. Go to the Sigil preferences folder, make a backup copy of sigil.ini and delete the original.
  3. Restart Sigil and test whether the problem still exists.
If the above steps didn't make a difference, try the "nuclear option:"
  1. Make a backup of the Sigil preferences folder and delete the folder afterwards.
  2. Uninstall Sigil.
  3. Since some malware/spyware manufacturers bundle their malware with the setup programs of popular software such as Sigil, you may want to download AdwCleaner and check for Windows adware/malware.
  4. Download and install the latest Sigil version from the official website or install one of the unofficial Windows 0.8.4 builds for older Windows versions. (There are also unofficial Linux builds, but if you have an older Mac, you're out of luck.)
  5. If you've customized Sigil, you'll need to restore clips, dictionaries etc. from your preference folder backup.
