Yes — this happened to me 1-2 weeks ago, never noticed it before, but 
it happened all the time for a day or so, until I rebooted (due to a 
software update), and now it does not seem to happen anymore.

I was very puzzled as to why it would happen, and I did try all sorts of 
things to reproduce the steps, but like you, I was unsuccessful.

One thing that was a little atypical compared to my normal workflow is 
that the project I worked on at the time had `saveOnBlur = true` in its 
`.tm_properties` and I was regularly switching away/back to TextMate. 
Although definitely not the first time I have used this workflow, but 
first time I noticed the selection issue.

FYI I am now on 10.12.3, so if you are on less, then definitely check 
for an OS update.

I would also suggest trying to reboot. I don’t exactly see how it 
could happen, but perhaps some sort of stuck modifier flag for the 
activation mouse event, making TextMate think there was a shift-click to 
extend the selection.
