It is the same in X and NS, i.e. extending with mouse-3 does not put the
region in the kill ring when mouse-drag-copy-region is t.
Just curious, what about the case when you start with shift-select on a few
characters and then extend with mouse-3, is that a mouse drag to be copied
when mouse-drag-copy-region is t? Or double click word, shift select to
extend, mouse-3 to extend and then shift select to extend, what goes into kill
ring then? The "mouse" in mouse-drag-copy-region makes these things difficult
to figure out.
