   What if I want to select something with the mouse, cut it, and paste it
   somewhere? I will get the selected text twice. Is there any way around
   this behaviour? Right now, I'm use keyboard commands.

I too think it is counter-intuitive for mouse selection to put the
region on the kill ring as it's currently doing.  Select with mouse
then C-w then C-y is a fairly common sequence of operations for me.
