Research direction
Reproduce the two Xed/Micro selection flows on the listed Linux Mint and GNOME setup, then trace Micro's selection and X clipboard handling. Done means text selected by keyboard or other non-mouse methods copies correctly through the wheel-button paste path; no source files or tests are named in the issue.
