I just upgraded all of our users to emacs-19.27. Everything went great
except one user.  He does the following operations which worked in
19.22 but fail in 19.27.


Select some characters into the cut buffer via double click or push
and drag. 

type  control-s to enter search mode

Press the middle mouse button to paste the characters into the search
argument in the mini-buffer. This paste can be done in the main buffer
but not the minibuffer. In the minibuffer you get a beep and
Minibuffer window is not active message.

I verified this works in emacs-19.22 using the -q switch.

In emacs-19.25 with the -q you get the same message by trying to paste
into the minibuffer.

If you paste in the main buffer it just inserts the selected text.

So the question would be: 

Is this a new bug?
Is this a bug that was fixed?
Is it a feature set change?
