terminal mode selection and pasting not working with master

[kodiakz]

#### Description

In terminal mode with clean checkout of current Master mouse text selection to PRIMARY and pasting using middle Mouse-Button does not work as it does in X-window.

Furthermore, when in terminal mode selected text gets only highlighted after left mouse button is released, thus no visual feedback happens until selection is finished. This is again not the case in a X-window.

Text selection to PRIMARY and pasting does work with plain emacs in terminal mode.

Reproduction guide

• Start Emacs with option "-nw"
• open some buffer, e.g. scratch
• write some text
• try to select the text by clicking down the left mouse button, and start dragging over the text
• release left mouse button
• try to paste somewhere in the same buffer by pressing middle mouse button

Observed behaviour:

• when in terminal mode selected text gets only highlighted after left mouse button is released
• no text is paste when pressing middle mouse button

Expected behaviour:

• text is immediately highlighted when pressing mouse button left down and start dragging over the text
• paste the previous selected text after left mouse button release
