The primary selection mode breaks the selection system.
The primary selection mode breaks the selection system.
The primary and both selection systems (perhaps because it involves the primary) break the selection system and make it very uncomfortable to select text in some applications, especially those based on GTK, e.g. Thunar and Inkscape, other applications such as Chrome are not affected.
Perhaps a video will illustrate the situation better:

As you can see in the video, without running the program, the selection system works normally, just as if you run the program using the regular option.
But once you start using the primary mode or both, it becomes impossible to select text, because once you release the cursor to finalize the selection, it disappears.
