Why was mouse-drag-copy-region changed to default to nil? This variable doesn't seem to be related to selections, but rather to the kill ring. . The change in binding mouse-2 to mouse-yank-primary instead of mouse-yank-at-point, in addition to referencing only the primary selection, means one more change: mouse-2 no longer yanks the last kill, except through the primary selection. Is this change in behavior intentional, and if so, what is the reason behind this change?
