Yep,

I have noticed the problem with IDL 5.3 inserting the "r"-like
character. I have also found that this often occurs when you cut-and-paste
or otherwise edit text.

RSI told me that they bought the editor portion of the IDLDE environment
from a software firm - guess they should have programmed it themselves.
