However, my Emacs 22.2.1 (started with emacs -Q) is confusing the two.
If I kill-ring-save "foo", select "bar" with the mouse and yank I get
"bar" instead of "foo". With the above spec, I should have gotten
"bar" only if I pressed M-w before yanking.
This is a very useful feature. It means, for instance, that you can use
C-y in Emacs to insert text that was selected in other apps.
This is mostly annoying when pasting from another program, e.g. using
C-c to copy "foo" in the browser, then yanking the text in Emacs. If
you accidentally click the wrong place, the effort in selecting "foo"
is lost.
That is vague, and I do not follow. What do you mean by "the wrong
place"? In what sense is the effort "lost"?
