This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list

and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org.  Please check that

the From: line contains a valid email address.  After a delay of up

to one day, you should receive an acknowledgement at that address.

 

Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers

usually do not have translators for other languages.

 

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and

the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give a recipe

starting from `emacs -Q':

 

 

The Emacs 24.x pretests, when built on MS Windows, are not using

the MS Windows clipboard. (Giving the amount of testing I’ve done

on the earlier pretests, I’m surprised I didn’t notice this sooner!)

Emacs 23.4, on the other hand, DOES use the MS Windows clipboard.

 

From what I can tell, it does not appear to be a pretest build issue.

The file, w32select.c, is compiled and linked into the pretest.

 

 

 

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,

please include the output from the following gdb commands:

    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.

For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

c:/emacs-24.0.96/etc/DEBUG.

This is a feature (new with Emacs 24).  In the first scenario, if you
use C-y instead of mouse-2, you will have the text pasted every time.
In the second scenario, if you use M-w after highlighting text, the
text will be put into the clipboard.  IOW, the clipboard interface is
used with C-w/M-w/C-y and only sometimes with the mouse.

The details (including how to get the old behavior by customizing
several variables) are in NEWS; search for "Selection changes".

I'm closing this non-bug.
