Package: emacs
Version: 24.0.90
emacs -Q
Using the mouse, hold down the left mouse button and drag to select the
text "buffer is for" in the scratch buffer.
Release left mouse button, move mouse towards the bottom of the window.
Press middle button to paste the previously selected text.
Press C-x C-x.
The cursor goes to the near the start of the buffer, just after "This".
Contrast with Emacs 23.3, where the cursor goes to the start of the text
that was just pasted. Perhaps the new behaviour is intentional?

Mouse-2 is now bound to a different command than it was in Emacs 23.3,
as you well know. Isn't this change part of the selection-related
changes in Emacs 24 that the different binding was part of? Pasting
with mouse-2 doesn't go through the kill ring now.
FWIW, on MS-Windows, "C-x C-x" still goes to the start of the pasted
text, but that could be due to the fact that PRIMARY is emulated on
w32.

Yup that's a bug.

Yes, it has changed, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't push a mark
like the old code did.
