Toggling select-enable-clipboard & select-enable-primary prevents org-copy-visible to work

[Alain . Cochard]

Hello.

When my .emacs contains only the following:

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(select-enable-clipboard nil)
 '(select-enable-primary t)
 )      

then org-copy-visible does not work properly: when yanking, whether it
be with 'yank' or 'org-yank', the invisible parts are also yanked.

Is it normal?  After all, the emacs manual says:

      Prior to Emacs 24, the kill and yank commands used the primary
  selection (*note Primary Selection::), not the clipboard.  If you
  prefer this behavior, change ‘select-enable-clipboard’ to ‘nil’,
  ‘select-enable-primary’ to ‘t’, and ‘mouse-drag-copy-region’ to ‘t’.

Regards.
