Cannot mouse binding (Right) to use copy action

[LinkTed]

Hi,
i cannot use the action copy with the mouse binding right. Here a snippet of my config file:

mouse_bindings:
   - { mouse: Right,  action: Copy }

Which operating system does the issue occur on?
Linux 4.20.0-arch1-1-ARCH (Arch Linux)

If on linux, are you using X11 or Wayland?
X11 (i3) and Wayland (sway)

The version is: 0.2.4

Thank you for your attention

This is likely because the selection gets removed when right-clicking. So the selection is first removed and then copied, which leads to an empty selection.

Just reading the code, I'm wondering if the order of this function call could be simply moved up above?

@nixpulvis I don't see how that would break anything, assuming that it does indeed solve the problem. Mouse bindings getting triggered should have no side effects.

This has been fixed in #1965.
