Re: Selected text -> system clipboard on NS?

[Adrian Robert]

Another question.

In the NS port trunk, if you hit Ctrl-space [set mark], then mouse-click on 
another point, the region is cleared.  (Running with -Q.)  Previously this has 
set the region to between point and mark.  Is this an intended behavior or 
unintended consequence of recent changes?

thanks,
Adrian
