What version of Emacs is that?  If Emacs 24, look in NEWS for changes
described under "Selection changes", if a later version of Emacs, look
for that section in NEWS.24.

In a nutshell, the handling of the primary selection and the clipboard
has changed; NEWS explains the details and tells you how to get the
old behavior back.
