If I kill-ring-save "foo", select "bar" with the mouse and yank I get "bar" instead of "foo". With the above spec, I should have gotten "bar" only if I pressed M-w before yanking. This is a very useful feature. It means, for instance, that you can use C-y in Emacs to insert text that was selected in other apps. This is mostly annoying when pasting from another program, e.g. using C-c to copy "foo" in the browser, then yanking the text in Emacs. If you accidentally click the wrong place, the effort in selecting "foo" is lost. That is vague, and I do not follow. What do you mean by "the wrong place"? In what sense is the effort "lost"?
