wmcliphist 0.6 contains new function called "auto take up". When
enabled, wmcliphist become a selection owner when new content appears in
clipboard. This makes selection content independent on application which
copied it previously - it will persist even if this application ends
(without recalling it from wmcliphist's history menu).

But it seems that some applications copy text into clipboard during
mouse drag instead after mouse button is released. This forces
wmcliphist to take up selection content and thus application can cancel
actual selection. This is rather problem of an application than
wmcliphist, but it can be solved easily: just disable auto take up
feature with following line in your ~/.wmcliphistrc:

auto_take_up no
