Re: mswindows-get-clipboard broken in beta 15?

I am not sure I understand you correctly, but if so - this means that it breaks the way cut/copy/paste is done in Windows. Is it a "good thing"? Why is that a lot better than what we had before? I for one went back to b14 only because of this. Ok, so I might be missing something. How can I mimic the old behaviour, which is standard in Windows, now? What I want is to be able to copy something to the clipboard, then select something else, and do a paste to replace the new selection with the clipboard contents. I tried doing (defun my-paste-selection () (interactive) (delete-primary-selection) (yank-clipboard-selection)) but it didn't work. That is, it still copied the current selection into the clipboard, before pasting it. AFAIK this indeed is the way X works, but what's so good about it? And now from what you say I gather that this new behaviour is intentional and built into a very low level of XEmacs, so that it is impossible to avoid? Unless am I missing something obvious...
