emacs -q select some text, so it can be yanked
open a menu-bar menu, and click mouse-2, instead of mouse-1, on any menu item The mouse-2 command is executed in the current buffer. In a text buffer, the copied text is yanked. In dired, the file on the curren line is opened. This is a pernicious bug because: 1. It is easy to fall into, especially for newbies. 2. It is easy not to recognize that it has occurred - you must either watch the buffer-modified flag in the mode line or the region yanked must be big enough to be obvious. This bug is apparently old - it occurs in Emacs 20 also.
