I suspect this is something specific to your Windows system setup,
perhaps in combination with what R does.  Because I tried to reproduce
what you say on a Windows 10 system without R, and couldn't.  It
sounds like some "sticky key" feature or something similar.

I very much doubt this is an Emacs problem.
