Inserting a block creates multiple copies

What I did:
I created a block from a simple part as per the extra cost pdf manual, specified a reference point on the part, then named the part "new." "new" was inserted in the Block list.
I then selected "new" in the list, clicked the inset block icon, then clicked where I wished Block "new" to be inserted in my drawing.
Expected behavior:
I expected a faithful copy of the original part, complete with the appropriate color for a center line (red).
What happened instead:
Three closely separated copies of "new" were inserted where I designated.
also, the triple image was all in the color red.
"Edit Block" showed only a single instance.
I suspect a bug in QCAD's Block insert code.
