With the current BZR head, the kill ring seems to be seriously
broken, at least in conjunction with pc-selection-mode.
It seems that whenever I mark a region (using shift + arrow keys), the
contents of that region go into the kill ring, and when I enter text to
replace that region, the first character (and only the first character)
goes into the kill ring.
This seriously breaks some common activities, i.e. copying a piece of
code, then pasting it several times, adjusting those parts that need
adjusting.
Is there an option to disable this less-than-desirable "functionality"
until the behaviour is returned to sanity? If not, I suppose I can
handle a few extra M-y presses for a while, but I'd like to see this
fixed as soon as possible.
