DDEDIT opening Start tab

For some unknown reason, my DDEDIT all of a sudden started opening the Start Tab after initiating DDEDIT. The shortcut command (DD) is definitely prompting DDEDIT, but then suddenly the start tab opens up. Sometimes, if I click the text fast enough I can catch it before the START tab opens, but not usually. After I close the Start tab, I can see in the command line that it also runs _GOTOSTART. If I just double click the text, it will just go directly into DDEDIT without opening the START tab and, yes, I could do that.....old habit editing text with the shortcut I suppose. Don't judge. :-) Any ideas how to stop this unruly behaviour?
