bug#7676: 24.0.50; incorrect doc about mouse selection

[Drew Adams]

The Emacs manual section about mouse selection (node Mouse Commands) is
out of date.
 
For example:
 
"In addition, the region is copied into the kill ring.
 If you don't want Emacs to copy the region, change the
 variable `mouse-drag-copy-region' to `nil'."

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
 of 2010-12-13 on 3249CTO
Windowing system distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
configured using `configure --with-gcc (4.4) --no-opt --cflags

It's too early to send bug reports about the Emacs 24 manuals, for
significant changes that are mentioned in NEWS without either the
"+++" or the "---" markers.  Those unmarked NEWS entries will be
reviewed when Emacs 24 is close to pretest, and the relevant manual
sections fixed to fit the changes.  This is a routine part of
preparations for pretesting a new major release.

Of course, volunteers are welcome to send patches for the manuals
before that; if accepted, we could mark the NEWS entries with "+++"
(meaning they are already documented).  But having a bug report about
that at this time serves no useful purpose.  It just artificially
bloats the list of "unresolved" bugs.

So I would suggest to close this bug report.
