Hmm.  You mean the second mouse-3 click in the current sequence?

You're right (I think*), that would work to appear like the earlier 
behaviour, assuming you meant "copy" as in "freezing off a copy" (if it 
were to stay lazy-bound to the buffer then, and as Matthieu mentioned, 
the text would be gone...).

I guess the new behaviour (which, thinking about it, essentially amounts 
to an emacs version of other apps' shift-mouse-1) does belong in a 
separate ticket.

(* haven't actually tried it yet, long mouse-save-then-kill is long)
