Extra lines for diy books

Hi Everyone,
I just started looking into making my own epubs with Stanza Desktop, but get some weird behaviour.
I open a notepad text, select & copy my stuff, then go to stanza and select "new from clipboard".
Stanza imports and displays everything ok, but when I save it Stanza inserts extra lines.
Example:
Original text in stanza after pasting:
-----------------------------------------------
Title
by Author
blurb
Chapter 1
sadfasdjfh slifghle gheil
-----------------------------------------------
After saving and re-opening I get
-----------------------------------------------
Title
by Author
Title
Title
Title
Title
blurb
Title
Title
Chapter 1
sadfasdjfh slifghle gheil
-----------------------------------------------
And those extra title lines are also tagged on at the end of each chapter.
This is really annoying. How do I stop this?
