It seems that I can no longer use the fringe to mark and cut a text region, or to paste using the left fringe.
As I have lost some of the ability to see the *exact* point where the cut and paste are being done, the left fringe was a great place to cut and paste from. A little searching got me to the patch posted on emacs-pretest-bugs, http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2006-11/msg00223.html and inspired me to spin up a little patch of my own --- emacs/lisp/mouse.el.~1.310.~ 2007-01-28 23:18:00.000000000 -0600 +++ emacs/lisp/mouse.el 2007-01-30 16:04:24.000000000 -0600 @@ -2426,7 +2426,10 @@ and selects that window."
