Looks like a new bug introduced somewhere between build 95 and 116 (which I'm using):

I copied an action with two children, and now if I click on one of the child clones, the next sibling is in fact selected. Ie:

A

- B

-C

A+

-B+

-C+

D

When I click on B+, D gets selected. And in fact lots of really bizzare stuff where actions get repainted by different actions. And the tool tips for every action from A+ onwards (including E, F...) are blank but flash repeatedly. And in fact when I click on various different actions, it looks like several actions are selected simultaneously...but then they repaitn themselves without selection. All in all, a total mess.

Fortunately, after saving and reloading, the mess went away.

Hi Steve,  
  
Is this a one-off thing, or something you can reproduce?

Yep, just reproduced it by doing another ctrl+drag/drop in a different project.  
  
Ok, here was the exact layout:  
  
A  
-B  
-C  
D  
-E  
-F  
G  
-H  
  
Crtl+Drag/drop A to between G and H. Producing:  
  
A  
-B  
-C  
D  
-E  
-F  
G  
-A1  
–B1  
–C1  
-H  
  
Every action from C1 onwards is stuffed - clicking on sends the focus to the wrong action, bad repainting, plus the flickering tooltip descibed earlier. I can send you the project file if you like. In this example, A and G are Ifs, D is an Else.
