23.1.90; Secondary selection and M-w |

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':
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.
Thank you.

No one has said anything else, so I'm assuming the above conclusion is
correct, and things are working as they should.

Two users (one of them me) have been unable to reproduce this issue,
and there have been no further comments within 6 months.
I therefore see nothing more to here, and I'm closing this bug.
If that conclusion is wrong, and this is still an issue, please reply
to this email (use "Reply to all" in your email client) and we can
reopen the bug report.
Best regards,
