Package: emacs24
Version: 24.4+1-4.1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Forwarded: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=18939
A left-click in Emacs should just change the cursor position. It
shouldn't be a destructive operation. But the following test shows
that it sometimes modifies the PRIMARY selection.
1. Open a file containing a line, say "foo", with "emacs -Q".
2. When the cursor is at the beginning, type C-k.
3. Select text in some other window that supports the PRIMARY selection
(xterm, some other Emacs window, etc.).
4. Left-click in the initial Emacs window.
5. Middle-click in some window that supports middle-click paste of
the PRIMARY selection (xterm, Emacs, etc.).
Instead of pasting the previously selected text, this pastes what was
cut with C-k in Emacs.
Note: This bug occurs very often and is very annoying, as one needs
to reselect what was selected (sometimes hardly possible). Moreover
the wrongly pasted text is similar to the correct text[*], meaning
that if one doesn't pay attention, one gets a file with permanently
incorrect data!
[*] This problem precisely occurs when one wants to update some data
in a file with Emacs: one cuts the old data, select the new data
somewhere else, and pastes back to the Emacs window; but due to this
bug, what is pasted is sometimes what was cut, i.e. the old data.

And I've checked that it is fixed in the emacs24 24.5+1-1 package.
Closing.
