Doesn't that imply that merely visibly selecting a region is sufficient
for pasting from one Emacs instance to another, but not from one Emacs
frame to another of the same Emacs instance?
Pasting with mouse-2 should work inside the Emacs session as it should
outside it, AFAIU.
AFAIU, the highlighting in the first frame goes away when you press
mouse-2 in the second frame of the same Emacs session. Since the
highlighting is supposedly connected with the selection, that means the
selection will no longer be taken by Emacs, and the paste will be from
the top of the kill ring. Since the region never was entered into the
killring, the result will appear differently than pasting a highlighted
selection from a different Emacs frame (which does not lose the
selection when doing mouse-2 in a different Emacs session).
I have not yet compiled the new code, but from the description that
would appear to me to be the case.
