- I found this mysterious too.
-
- mouse-track-delete-and-insert:
- Make a selection with the mouse and insert it at point.
- This is exactly the same as the `mouse-track' command on button1,
- except that point is not moved; the selected text is immediately inserted
- after being selected; and the text of the selection is deleted.
-
- In fact, suppose that you move your mouse, press Control Shift Button1, and
- then drag the mouse before releasing. You'll find that the selected text is
- re-duplicated at the original insertion point.
