Hm, it now was surprisingly hard for me to reproduce it.  Surprising
because when I wrote the bug report I was annoyed by it happening so
often.  It seems to happen only when there is an active selection,
e.g. a part of the buffer marked by dragging with mouse-1.  (I
normally have transient-mark-mode enabled; maybe this is related.)
Then when I press down-mouse-2, nothing happens and the menu pops up
only when the mouse button is released.  After selecting the "Save
word" menu item, the menu is closed and the text from the marked
region is inserted.
