emacs -Q:

Hi,

with yank following a kill-new, Emacs doesn't yank the latest killed
string.

Checked it in a scratch buffer with following content after default:

abc foo bar
(kill-new (buffer-substring-no-properties 192 195) ==> "abc"
(kill-new (buffer-substring-no-properties 196 199) ==> "foo"
(kill-new (buffer-substring-no-properties 200 203) ==> "bar"

After evaluating this, following yank should insert "bar".

Instead it inserted some other, previously killed content.

AFAIS its related to activated region.
Doesn't happen, if a yank follows immediatly such a kill-new.
If region gets activated meanwhile by moving the cursor, content gets 
into the kill-ring and is yanked back instead ot the previous kill.

Thanks

Andreas
