clipboard-kill-region does not fill the system clipboard,
when done in "emacs -nw -Q", from cmd. It accepts pasting
with C-y. Was trying with ascii contents from scratchpad.

I tested it working in emacs 24.2. Does not work since 24.3.

Windows 7, 64-bit, Polish version and locale.

Clipboard doesn't work in the -nw session.

By pure accident.

Was there any reason to remove that functionality in 24.3? I thought it 
was just a regression bug.

I think it's a side effect of the change in how selections work wrt
clipboard.
