I think you mean "cut twice". Yes, that's the way it used to work.

Because users weren't getting what they were expecting. If the key would bounce
then they'd get the text cut twice without expecting it. If they pressed the
wrong key and wanted to readjust the end of the cut then, rather than the
correction, they were getting the second chunk appended. The new code allows
the end of the current region to be adjusted in case of initial error, and
allows for key bounces.

Is the old "functionality" actually useful?
