If you right-click a SAS keyword in the SAS Studio editor and select Syntax Help, a copy of the line that the cursor is on is added to the end of the program.  The line is not actually added to the program and cannot be edited.  This issue occurs when you use SAS Studio with Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.

To circumvent the problem, do one of the following:

• Ignore the line and continue to edit the program.
   
• Edit the valid line to make the duplicate line disappear.
   
• Use a different web browser.
