Maybe this change is the culprit?

lisp/ChangeLog:

2012-06-13  Chong Yidong  <address@hidden>

        * mouse.el (mouse-drag-track): Do not set the mark if the user
        releases the mouse without selecting anything (Bug#11588).


I guess this because:

emacs -Q &

Now in the "scratch" buffer I select the word "then" at the start of 3rd 
row *holding down* the SHIF key and moving with right arrow, i.e. not 
using mouse. Then with mouse-1 I go to the end of "buffer.". Clicking 
with mouse-2 (wheel) I get "then enter the text in that file's own 
buffer." pasted. Instead, if I move at the end of "buffer." with arrow 
key and there I paste with mouse-2, I correctly get "then".

In other words, if I use the mouse *only* for pasting and not for select 
the text and moving the pointer, I get the right behavior.


Ciao,
Angelo.
