(See keystrokes and message log below.) Also, I can't paste the saved text into another application. However, if I copy text from another application, I can yank it into Emacs with C-y. Only M-w and C-w seem to be affected; text killed with M-d and C-k can be yanked and pasted.Correction: I figured out that the nature of the problem is different. When I mark a region of text with C-SPC and movement keys, everything works fine if I then hit M-w _twice_. After the first press, the highlighting disappears, and after the second press, the cursor briefly blinks at the mark, signalling that the text was actually saved.
Hmm. Not that it helps you exactly, but that's actually a bit less broken than I thought. Please note, there are several known issues in this area on macosx and other platforms owing to some recent changes to defaults.
see e.g. #6677 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6677 See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-07/msg01314.html http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6720#20 for instructions on reverting the new behaviour for now if you want to. I will be looking at the area over this weekend, anyway, on x11/w32/ns.
