I have stopped hoping that the current maintainers of Emacs still have an ounce of common sense. How on Earth can it be possible (and quite easy) to allow replacing a huge hidden selection when pasting text without any warning ? I have lost large amounts of data with this incredibly stupid behavior. There isn't even a warning when saving a file which has shrunk a lot, like there once was. How can I DEFINITELY avoid overwriting an invisible selection in all versions of Emacs?
