Cmder: High-lighting text and copying is broken

I'm not sure I follow, these two lines describe the same things;

In previous versions you would highlight some text and that text would be copied to the clipboard.

Now, you highlight some text and nothing happens. Then you right-click the text and it is automatically copied to the prompt.

As far as I can recall. Highlighting text IS the copy command and will go on your clipboard. Right-click is paste. I don't think this has ever changed.

Normally windows cmd.exe or powershell.exe hosts, when "quickedit mode" is enabled. you get;

1. Highlight
2. right-click copy
3. right-click paste

In short. Just highlight, that is on your clipboard already at that point.

Something has definitely changed between the last version and the current version. For me in any case, and there were no other changes to my system other than Cmder update.

Previously the process you describe above was like this:

1. Highlight text (that's it, it was copied automatically without right-click, and the highlight disappeared immediately)
2. Right-click to paste

Now it appears to work like this:

1. Highlight (highlight stays and doesn't go away)
2. Right-click to copy the text, remove the highlight and paste to the prompt

It's still a two-step process for me, but the difference now is that on right click the text is copied _and_ pasted to the prompt with one click.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro btw, but I also notice the same issue on Windows 10

It's just a changed option. I've had the same issue and solution is to enable old behavior.

Preferences -> Keys & Macro -> Mark/Copy -> Select text with mouse (LeftClick+Drag) ->
