I did all the same stuff with right click as well. I didn't mention it
because every time I mention that (earlier in the thread) someone will
respond with `I only use C-y' So I attempted to short circuit that
answer.
In fact all the same things happen whether I stick to middle mouse
click or C-y for the copy.
By the way, there should be no difference whether I use C-y or middle
click. So that is not the problem.
