Indeed, this is the traditional bindings to control the PRIMARY selection.

I haven't seen much real breakage in that area.  But these key bindings
typically control the CLIPBOARD selection instead, so if you're not
aware of the distinction between PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selection
(and/or if you don't know or aren't sure which is used by your program
and/or by the key sequence you used), then indeed, sometimes it looks
like it's just broken.
