That's me pasting your comment into a reply box and then using my iPhone 8 to move the cursor around. Once I start moving the cursor all I'm doing is moving it, nothing else. You can see that it starts selecting text randomly twice. It actually took me longer to trigger it this time than usual.

I think it happens when I moved to the top of the text and then make a downward motion. It's really, really annoying on a regular basis.

Likely you have a defective unit, which somehow breaks the force touch input.
No, I've been through 3 iPhones now and they all did it.
