Description Martin Prpič 2015-01-13 12:52:24 UTC 
It was reported that a left-click in Emacs sometimes modifies the PRIMARY selection. Due to this bug, a paste with a middle click in a web browser can end up in pasting private data.

This flaw affects Emacs version 24.4 only.

Comment 1 Martin Prpič 2015-01-13 12:52:57 UTC 
Created emacs tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1181600]
Comment 2 Petr Hracek 2015-05-27 07:48:32 UTC 
Because of all versions rawhide, F22 and F21 have emacs-24.5 then I close the bug as CLOSED->CURRENTRELEASE.
