Subject: bug#11772: 24.1; A click changes the primary selection
Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2012 19:39:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wr2wehih.fsf@xvii.vinc17.org> (raw)
If there is something selected in the Emacs window but is no longer
the PRIMARY selection and one clicks somewhere in the window, the
primary selection is changed to what had been selected.
To reproduce the bug:
1. Run "emacs -Q" under X.
2. Select something in the Emacs window, e.g. "This buffer".
3. Select something in some other application that supports the
PRIMARY selection, e.g. xterm.
4. Optional: paste the PRIMARY selection somewhere (but not in the
Emacs window opened above). As expected, one can see that the
selection done in (3) is pasted.
5. Click somethere in the Emacs window, with the left button.
As expected, the selection is no longer highlighted.
6. Paste the PRIMARY selection somewhere: it is the one from Emacs
(e.g. "This buffer"), i.e. in (2), that is pasted instead of the
most recent PRIMARY selection from (3).
This is a regression: GNU Emacs 23.4.1 from Debian doesn't have this
problem.
