Enable ICANON (Bug#6771). Any long line problem must be solved differently. There is AFAIK no bug report or test case for the long line problem. * sysdep.c (child_setup_tty): Enable ICANON in lflags and set VEOF to Control-D (Bug#6771).

;;; Commentary:

;; What is ``mouse-copy.el''?
;;
;; It provides one-click text copy and move.  Rather than the
;; standard stroke-out-a-region (down-mouse-1, up-mouse-1) followed
;; by a yank (down-mouse-2, up-mouse-2 or C-y), you can now stroke
;; out a region and have it automatically pasted at the current
;; point.  You can also move text just as easily.  Although the
;; difference may not sound like much, it does make mousing text
;; around a lot easier, IMHO.
;;
;; If you like mouse-copy, you should also check out mouse-drag
;; for ``one-click scrolling''.
;;
;; To use mouse-copy, place the following in your .emacs file:
;;	(require 'mouse-copy)
;;     (global-set-key [M-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-pasting)
;;     (global-set-key [M-S-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-secondary-moving)
;;
;; (These definitions override the old binding of M-mouse-1 to
;; mouse-drag-secondary.  I find I don't use that command much so its
;; loss is not important, and it can be made up with a M-mouse-1
;; followed by a M-mouse-3.  I personally reserve M-mouse bindings
;; for my window manager and bind everything to C-mouse.)
;;
;;
;; History and related work:
;;
;; One-click copying and moving was inspired by lemacs-19.8.
;; Throw-scrolling was inspired by MacPaint's ``hand'' and by Tk's
;; mouse-2 scrolling.  The package mouse-scroll.el by Tom Wurgler
;; <[e-mail]> is similar to mouse-drag-throw, but
;; doesn't pass clicks through.
;;
;; These functions have been tested in emacs version 19.30,
;; and this package has run in the past on 19.25-19.29.
;;
;; Originally mouse-copy was part of a larger package.
;; As of 11 July 96 the scrolling functions were split out
;; in preparation for incorporation into (the future) emacs-19.32.
;;
;;
;; Known Bugs:
;;
;; - Highlighting is sub-optimal under 19.29 and XFree86-3.1.1
;;   (see \\[mouse-copy-work-around-drag-bug] for details).
;; - mouse-drag-secondary-pasting and mouse-drag-secondary-moving
;;   require X11R5 (or better) and so fail under older versions
;;   of Open Windows (like that present in Solaris/x86 2.1).
;;
;;
;; Future plans:
;;
;; I read about the chording features of Plan-9's Acme environment at
;; <http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/app/wily/auug.html>.  I'd like
;; to incorporate some of these ideas into mouse-copy.  The only
;; lose is that this is not the current Emacs Way Of Doing Things, so
;; there would be a learning curve for existing emacs users.
;;
;;
;; Thanks:
;;
;; Thanks to Kai Grossjohann
;; <[e-mail]> for reporting bugs, to
;; Tom Wurgler <[e-mail]> for reporting bugs and
;; suggesting fixes, and to Joel Graber <[e-mail]> for
;; prompting me to do drag-scrolling and for an initial
;; implementation of horizontal drag-scrolling.

  "Code to work around a bug in post-19.29 Emacs: it drops mouse-drag events.
The problem occurs under XFree86-3.1.1 (X11R6pl11) but not under X11R5,
and under post-19.29 but not early versions of Emacs.

19.29 and 19.30 seems to drop mouse drag events
sometimes. (Reproducible under XFree86-3.1.1 (X11R6pl11) and
XFree86-3.1.2 under Linux 1.2.x.  Doesn't occur under X11R5 and SunOS
4.1.1.)

To see if you have the problem:
Disable this routine (with (setq mouse-copy-have-drag-bug nil)).
Click and drag for a while.
If highlighting stops tracking, you have the bug.
If you have the bug (or the real fix :-), please let me know."
