Not sure what "this problem" is, but yes, I had to change the default settings

I can't speak for Emacs Dev obviously, and I might have misunderstood, but I
believe that all of the default changes wrt selection etc. were to bring Emacs
more into line with X Window. AFAIK, nothing to do with CUA or MS Windows.
