Autocad trim & extend command acting funny

This just started happening recently... When I go to trim or extend a line, it doesn't extend/trim to the nearest line - it will go to some point before the nearest line as if there are lots of imaginary or hidden lines in between the real one.

 

Has anybody had this happen before? It's driving me crazy. Really slowing me down.

For example....

 

The red lines started off at the vertical green line on the left. I used the extend command, selected all the cyan lines on the right to extend to. Then I used the fence command to extend them all at once. As you can see, it gave me some weird curve looking profile that resembles nothing else I have been working with. That shouldn't be happening! They should have all been exteded to the cyan profile.

 

And its not just this drawing either. Its been doing this on all drawing files.

After selecting the objects & hitting enter, you are prompted to choose to select object to trim with the following options (Project/Edge/Undo). Choose Edge and then choose No extend. This will solve your problem. Choosing Extend will make all lines as imaginary edges.
