I never noticed it before, but I can confirm that it happens, but only if the the Meta key is pressed before releasing the mouse button. > If often use mouse to select a piece of text and then hit M-w to copy > it. However, this is frequently hijacked by mouse-drag-secondary. > > To reproduce: > 1. Drag the mouse to select some text > 2. Stop dragging and (after a short delay) hit the Meta (as > in M-w) key > > The region will be turned into a secondary selection defeating the > effect of M-w, for example. > > I have found this annoying and I wonder how to fix it without > disabling all secondary selection bindings.
