> # Steps to reproduce
>
> 1. Create /tmp/.emacs file with the following content:
>
>     (setq select-enable-clipboard nil
>           inhibit-startup-screen t)
>
>     (defun clipboard-yank-test ()
>       (interactive)
>       (let ((select-enable-clipboard t))
>         (x-clipboard-yank)))
>
>     (global-set-key "\C-y" 'clipboard-yank-test)
> 2. Launch `HOME=/tmp/ emacs`
> 3. Outside Emacs copy a word "test"
> 4. In Emacs ensure that `C-y` pastes word "test"
> 5. In Emacs, delete a different word in the *scratch* buffer, e.g. a
> "create"
> 6. In Emacs, press C-y to paste current clipboard content
>
> ## Expected
>
> A word "test" will be inserted as this is the one that is in the system
> clipboard.
>
> Note: the word "create" didn't replace content in the clipboard,
> because global value of select-enable-clipboard is nil. So it still has
> "test", and the C-y was expected to paste "test" as well due to
> `select-enable-clipboard` being temporarily set to `t` in clipboard-
> yank-test.
>
> ## Actual
>
> The word you deleted in *scratch* buffer will be inserted instead of
> "test".
