It happened with me several time before but now again. I right click on the ground that is just front of me and try to copy the coordinates to put down a population. But instead of copy the close coordinates I get something millions of km away. ???

Right now I am  using TG3 so if its fixed in TG4 then its okay since TG3 is old now.

Just a thought: since you point to a place close to the camera, is it possible that because of viewport clipping you're accidentally pointing to a place way behind the planet?
In case, that's the reason, here is a way to adjust the clipping:
