Subject: 27.2; Problem with kill-new
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 01:59:22 +0200

Hello.

I have a problem with org-mode.  It has been suggested on the org-mode
mailing list by an org-mode contributor that the problem in fact
originates from kill-new.

The full context is here
https://list.orgmode.org/87czd8e7wf.fsf <at> localhost/ an excerpt of which
being the following steps to reproduce to hopefully help Emacs
developers debug the problem.  Regards.

1. Create bug.el with the following contents:
----
(custom-set-variables
 '(select-enable-clipboard nil)
 '(select-enable-primary t))
(defun my/copy-const (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (setq deactivate-mark t)
  (kill-new "Constant string"))
----
2. Create bug.org with the following contents:
----
* headline
Hidden text inside
* another headline
----
3. emacs -Q -l /path/to/bug.el /path/to/bug.org
4. S-<TAB>
5. M-x my/copy-const
6. C-y

Expected: "Constant string" is inserted
Observed: Selected region is inserted.

I have not tried to debug this, but if I remember correctly, there's
been some changes in the selection ownership code lately, so I'm adding
Po Lu to the CCs.

Isn't this report for Emacs 27.2, before any changes were made to the
selection code?

But I can reproduce with Emacs 28.1 the problem I have with org-mode
(https://list.orgmode.org/87czd8e7wf.fsf <at> localhost/).

GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.30,

The changes Po Lu mentions were done in Emacs 29, so please try that
if you can.

Thanks.  I can't find the rest of this bug report inside
"gnus-read-ephemeral-bug-group", so could you please explain what the
problem is and how to reproduce it?

I think that's because I accidentally replied to the report before it
got registered by debbugs.

Anyway, here is the recipe:

1. Create bug.el with the following contents:
----
(custom-set-variables
 '(select-enable-clipboard nil)
 '(select-enable-primary t))
(defun my/copy-const (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (setq deactivate-mark t)
  (kill-new "Constant string"))
----
2. Create bug.org with the following contents:
----
* headline
Hidden text inside
* another headline
----
3. emacs -Q -l /path/to/bug.el /path/to/bug.org
4. S-<TAB>
5. Move point to bob, activate mark, and select down to the eob
6. M-x my/copy-const
7. C-y

Expected: "Constant string" is inserted
Observed: Selected region is inserted.

This is intended behavior.  Deactivating the mark will always assert
ownership over the primary selection with the contents of the region.

See the doc string of `deactivate-mark' for more details.

Can this behaviour be disabled then? It is clearly not the user intention
here when the user calls a function that is supposed to push some
filtered text to `kill-ring' right before deactivating the region.

I am thinking about workaround like

;; Prevent Emacs from adding full selected text to `kill-ring'
;; when `select-enable-primary' is non-nil.
(setq-local filter-buffer-substring-function
            `(lambda (&rest _)
               (setq-local filter-buffer-substring-function
                           ',filter-buffer-substring-function)
               nil))

which seems to work, but looks like a hack.

Sure, we could add a flag that tells deactivate-mark not to save the
region.  But others might object, so I'd rather wait a while before
doing that.

The variable is currently:

---
deactivate-mark is a variable defined in src/keyboard.c.

[...]

If an editing command sets this to t, deactivate the mark afterward.
---

So adding a new value like `no-save' should be safe.

Now done (though I named it dont-save instead).  Ihor, can you see if
using that value solves the problem for you as well?

Thanks.

Yep. I just tested modifying the recipe to use 'dont-save instead of t
and the text is yanked as expected. Same for the original issue with
org-copy-visible.

Thanks!

Thanks for testing, closing.
