Faulty mouse / operator error ?

No definitely not, have tried an external mouse to see if that makes any difference.

Yeah but not a faulty touchpad either, gonna have to visit a shop I think,

Try highlighting, right click copy and right click paste instead.

No but have you checked the touchpad settings and did you disable the touchpad when you connected the mouse?
