When mouse-drag-copy-region is t, it will copy the new region at mouse-3 time (it does not somehow make keyboard shift-selection itself do a mouse-like copy...) This is similar to older emacs behaviour for C-SPC active regions, which would copy on mouse-3 extension of a C-SPC active region.

This is more problematic when mouse-drag-copy-region is t, what it will do is copy the region at double-click time, not copy at shift-select extension time, then replace-copy at mouse-3 time, then the subsequent shift-select won't replace-copy the additionally altered region. Now, maybe there is something more sensible that could be done, but what is the best behaviour for mixed keyboard/mouse/keyboard/mouse selection extension if you've just explicitly asked for mouse selections to do one thing and keyboard selections another? I wouldn't bet there's a large overlap between people who like shift-selection and like mouse-drag-copy-region=>t in the first place, but possibly the "copying-ness" could be somewhat sticky, so once it copies owing to region change by mouse, it keeps replace-copying on each subsequent region extension whether by mouse or keyboard in the same activation? Yeesh.
