Subject: select-active-regions, Emacs not X
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:14:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C7BA0A2.9030602@easy-emacs.de> (raw)
Hi all,
stumble over a real nasty bug, yanking everything back which got into
the region/highlighted by chance.
See bug#6941: 24.0.50; yank doesn't return latest kill
Reading the news, it seems that it's conceived that way:
"The default handling of clipboard and primary selections has been
changed to conform with other X applications.
*** `select-active-regions' now defaults to t, so active regions set
the primary selection."
IMHO copying everything once got highlighted, it just the delire :-)
Can't move the cursor without clobbering previous saves.
Emacs is unusable that way.
Well, it's gone after setting `select-active-regions' other than t.
But, please, don't let users run into that mess, don't activate it by
default.
Well, that feature might be interesting in specific context.
A default value "only shift-selection or mouse-drag" might make sense.
Thanks!
Andreas
