I have a page/Section - e.g "Section_0031", which I then will split into a number of new sections. So when I split "Section_0031" I get a new page "Section_0032", which I then split again to a new page "Section_0033"
When the "split-error" occurs, e.g on "Section_0031", I end up with a bunch of empty sections, from "Section_0032" to "Section_00XX", where only the last Section have content.
Today I've got two errors, first it made pages from "Section_30" to "Section_38" where Section_31 to 37 where empty, then it creating "Section_38" to "Section_62" where page 38-61 where empty.
Yesterday: 45 and 61 empty sections...
I think Sigil throw an error when this occurs, someting like "can't split here" but I'm not sure, it's just a flash and disapear.
And yes, Ctrl+Return is keyboard shortcut for "Split At Cursor"

There's very few situations where a sticky return key would cause such drastic, and easily noticed results. A few extras lines here or there in documents, but new files being created? That's going to be hard to miss.

I got this behaviour yesterday but using the menu button "split at cursor". With previous versions of Sigil very occasionally using this button would create just one extra "empty" file, but it's inconsistent. However if there was a broken link in the file being split, Sigil would warn me "link destination does not exist, are you sure you want to split?" (or words to that effect, I don't remember the exact message) and if I clicked "yes" it would *always* create an extra empty file, as if the yes duplicated my original command. It happened rarely enough (and always when I had a close deadline...) that I forgot to report it, sorry.
Yesterday there were no broken links and I got about 20 empty files (= extra splits). Could be a sticky mouse button? In any case I will let you know if this happens again.
I'm using windows 8.1.
