One very annoying bug is that marking a region sometimes works but sometimes doesn't. I use CTL-SPC to set the mark for the beginning of the region. I then move the cursor to the end of the region I want to mark. I then do something like CTL-w or ALT-w to cut or copy the region. Sometimes the region gets marked and sometimes it doesn't. I read through the release notes and see that a lot of the region marking and clipboard stuff has changed. I have changed some of the variables to see if I could get it to work like it did in 23 but nothing seems to make it reliable. I think there is a bug in the region handling. Another place I noticed the region marking not working is in Python mode. I mark the start of a region using CTL-SPC and move the cursor to the end of the region. I then go to the Python menu and select shift region left/right. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. There is some kind of a bug in the region handling in version 24.1. Region marking was always reliable before. If it makes any difference, here is my setup: Debian GNU/Linux testing/wheezy gnu emacs 24.1+1-1 directly from the Debian repository(unstable branch)
