Some experimentation has allowed me to characterize the issue better.
Double click a word and paste the word works fine. The habit that
is broken is:
1. left click the end of some text
2. right click the start of some text
3. alt-shift-5 ctl-y (query replace followed by paste)
Expected result: the text I just selected would be in the query-replace
buffer
Actual result: the previous paste buffer gets inserted
Still a nuisance.
