bug#15290: 24.3.50; cannot copy to clipboard from windows console (cmd non-gui terminal)

[Jarek Czekalski]

clipboard-kill-region does not fill the system clipboard,
when done in "emacs -nw -Q", from cmd. It accepts pasting
with C-y. Was trying with ascii contents from scratchpad.

I tested it working in emacs 24.2. Does not work since 24.3.

Windows 7, 64-bit, Polish version and locale.

Clipboard doesn't work in the -nw session.

> It accepts pasting with C-y.

By pure accident.

bug#15290: why worked in 24.2

[Jarek Czekalski]

Was there any reason to remove that functionality in 24.3? I thought it 
was just a regression bug.

I think it's a side effect of the change in how selections work wrt
clipboard.
