Whether you've unleashed the zombie plague=20 to get your girlfriend back or to conquer Venus, you've still unleashed=20 the zombie plague. > And yes, I know: the resulting behavior is not as clean on w32 as it > is on X, but given the lack of selections, I think that it's as good > as it gets. Well, please don't assert that just changing mouse-drag-copy-region=20 without changing the mouse-2 binding is actually sufficient to restore=20 old behaviour on w32. If you did assert that, anyway (Miss, Drew said=20 Eli said...). If even after all my explanations you and/or Drew=20 genuinely think it does restore the old behaviour (rather than causing a=20 different behaviour that may or may not be an acceptable substitute),=20 then well, we're failing to communicate and I just don't think there's=20 much more I can do there on my end. In any case, I'm now going to look at getting certain remaining=20 selection issues on x11 sorted out (I've just proven to my satisfaction=20 that at least one nasty one that was present back in the summer is still=20 present now), they're rather more important to myself as an x11 emacs use= r.
