Huh? No one said it is. My mail was a reply to Yidong, who seemed to indicate that this is impossible. You then replied to my mail, indicating that we have _already_ been told how to get back the previous behavior. I mentioned that Yidong apparently thinks getting that behavior is not (completely) possible. And I stated that I do not see where we have already been told how to get back the previous behavior. Where "we" is Emacs users.

I don't know the > > answer. If yes, then that feature has apparently been lost It's a question. And a statement that if the answer is yes, then a feature has been lost. How do you interpret that as my complaining about my having to customize option `mouse-drag-copy-region'? I've been very clear that customizing that option to t seems to do what I need.
