Yes, this is because Emacs now copies to the clipboard only text that is copied to the kill ring. > What's needed is here is the ability to mouse-select in one Emacs session and > paste to another Emacs session, even if they are in different Emacs versions. > That needs to be possible (and it should also be the default behavior BTW) > without users also needing to pollute their kill ring with the selection. Was this possible in Emacs 23? If so, how? When I double-click mouse-1 in Emacs 23 to select a word, I can then yank that word with C-y, and `(car kill-ring)' evaluates to that word. So I'm quite sure mouse-drag-copy-region non-nil does the same as what you had in Emacs 23 and older. > The bug is still a bug, I'm afraid. No, it's a different bug. This one was filed against my promise that mouse-drag-copy-region will get you back the ability to get back the behavior of Emacs 23 on Windows when you select text by double-clicking mouse-1. This now works exactly as it did in Emacs 23 (AFAICS), so any further complaints about mouse selections should be in a separate bug.
