Hi,
delivered a bug report with the issue

bug#6941: 24.0.50; yank doesn't return latest kill

Don't see tmm  activated.

BTW all is fine after setting `select-active-regions' away from t.

So I'm afraid, it just does what it should, if `select-active-regions' is t.

Than question boils down not to set it `t' by default.

Thanks

Andreas
