I had an initial stab (not bothering with "double" previously mentioned,
guess there's no demand) that I was about to send, but then I realised
my effort was inadequate, so just to note:
We _don't_ want a new kill ring entry for each new mouse-3 click in a
different position for a given region activation, we want it to replace
the front of kill-ring if it's extending a region that's already been
saved to the kill ring previously in the same activation.
Testing emacs 22.3, it replaced, and as a comment in its (too different
to use directly) source says:
;; We have already put the old region in the kill ring.
;; Replace it with the extended region.
;; (It would be annoying to make a separate entry.)
- having just tried a patch that didn't take pains to do that
replacement, I can confirm it is annoying...
=========
Aside: If someone were to make mouse-3 dragging extend an existing
region some day*, of course you wouldn't want it copying to kill ring a
zillion times. Maybe mouse-3-drag-existing-region-adjustment could be
added "cheaply" by reusing most of the existing mouse-drag.
* analogous with other-app Shift-Mouse-1 dragging, emacs of course
having some popup font menu on Shift-Mouse-1 and using Mouse-3 for
existing region adjustment where other apps tend to have a popup context
menu on Mouse-3 and use Shift-Mouse-1 for existing region adjustment...
