In the latter case, uncheck it and try again. Yes, I had Quick Edit on. Turning it off does as you describe. Thx. But mouse-2 does not seem to paste what I've selected (even if I use `M-w'). I just get the error "No selection is available". The debugger shows that (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY) returns nil. I tried fiddling with `select-active-regions' and `x-select-enable-*', but that didn't help. Anyway, it's OK. I don't really use `emacs -nw' for anything more than some quick sanity testing of code.
