I cannot reproduce this behavior in 21.5.21 (with additional Xft patches, but that should not affect this), although I have the same configuration for selection handling (interprogram-cut-function = own-clipboard, interprogram-paste-function = get-selection-foreign) that you do. I don't see anything suggestive of changes to that feature in the ChangeLogs for any of the files I would expect such bugs to occur. Unfortunately, my development machine went up in a flash of light on Friday, so it will be a few days before I can test a build of 21.5.18. You could try M-x customize-variable RET interprogram-paste-function RET select the button that says Other, and edit the fill-in field to "get-selection-foreign". Then push the Set button. I suspect this will cause other problems, and possibly even generate errors, but the only other option is to update XEmacs to the most recent version, either 21.4.17 (stable) or 21.5.22 (in development). (Upgrading is what I recommend, but of course depends on your skills and time constraints.) If, on the contrary, after some experimentation it seems to be working better for you, you can return to that buffer and push the "Save" button to get the same behavior for future sessions.
