I've never understood the mouse buffer operation with exmh either. Here's the
behaviour I have. I have exmh and XEmacs windows up, and a terminal window. (I
also have gnome1.4 running and enlightenment as wm.) I select text in the exmh
window and while it is highlighted, I can paste into anything else. If I select
it and then click so the highlighting is off, then what I paste is not the
recently-selected text in exmh, but an old selection. If I select in XEmacs and
leave it highlighted, I can paste it into exmh sedit window; but if it is no
longer highlighted, what I paste is an old selection. I can live with this
behaviour except for one additional thing. If nothing is highlighted, then what
I paste into exmh is different from what I paste into other windows. To be more
specific, here's what gets pasted if nothing is highlighted:
Application What gets pasted
XEmacs whatever was last selected unless it was last selected in exmh
xterm same as XEmacs
AbiWord nothing
Nedit nothing
sedit Whatever was last highlighted in sedit and overwritten
The last needs some amplification. If I highlight something in sedit, then
obviously that's what gets pasted. If the highlighting is off, then what gets
pasted is NOT what was last highlighted in sedit, but what was last highlighted
and typed over (I have "Type Kills SEL" on.).
It seems that exmh and sedit are the oddballs here. Very often when I try to
paste something in sedit I end up muttering WTF??
