macOS, Terminal.app, xterm-mouse-mode enabled
emacs -nw -Q
Select something with mouse, press Command-c
Try to paste into another program - text is not in the clipboard

Perhaps this is not new, I just tried xterm-mouse-mode for the first
time, given that it's now the default in master.

Trying different combinations of select-enable-clipboard and
select-enable-primary did not help (that variables are all I know in
this area).

Thanks.
