[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In the latest Gcc Emacs, selecting some text within Emacs will change the
result of (current-kill 0). However, the old behavior was that only
selecting text in the external programs other than Emacs would change what
(current-kill 0) returns.

Reproduce steps:

1. Evaluate (setq select-enable-primary t)
2. Evaluate (current-kill 0), and note the result
3. Hit C-<SPC>, move the cursor to select some text
4. Evaluate (current-kill 0) again, and the result will be the text just
been selected in step 3. However, the result used to be the same as in step
2.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

I'm unable to reproduce this behaviour now.  Do you still see this in
recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
