I did some more testing and it only happens on some of my systems.
Turns out the problem shows up when this .Xresources setting is
present:
! Shift-paste to paste CLIPBOARD instead of PRIMARY.
xterm*VT100.Translations: #override \
Shift <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)\n \
Ctrl ~Shift Meta <Key>-: smaller-vt-font() \n \
Ctrl ~Shift Meta <Key>=: larger-vt-font() \n
That's worked for me forever... I have no idea why it would cause new
versions of emacs to act funny. CCing Thomas Dickey, any ideas?
