I am trying to copy this command into sqlplus.

select * from dba_objects
where object_type = 'VIEW'
order by created desc, last_ddl_time desc;

When I copy it into sqlplus it does this. It adds a random 2 and 3 and does not let me delete it.

SQL> select * from dba_objects
where object_type = 'VIEW'
order by created desc, last_ddl_time desc;  2    3  ^H^H^H^C

SQL> select * from dba_objects
where object_type = 'VIEW'
order by created desc, last_ddl_time desc;  2    3  ^C^C^C^C
