emacs -Q
 
In another Emacs session, select some text in any way and hit `M-w'.
 
Click mouse-2 in the new Emacs session.  You get the error "No primary
selection".  For example, try to yank the text into the prompt at
`report-emacs-bug' using mouse-2.  Note: C-y works, but mouse-2 does
not work.
 
I believe there have been a bunch of bug reports about selection
recently, but I haven't followed them.  It seems pretty broken, in any
case.
 
Please restore selection, copying/killing, and yanking to what it was
like before.  It was NOT broken - please do not "fix" it.
