Subject: bug#12750: Highlighting text no longer works
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2012 09:16:13 -0700

For many years, I have selected text and then pasted it where I wanted.
There is a new feature in emacs:  selected text is no longer in the
pasteable buffer.  I must move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard
to copy the text and then back to the mouse to paste it.  This is a bug.
Pending a fix in the next emacs release, how do I work around this problem?
Thank you!
