When launched normally or launched with just -Q this version does it  
right, it clears the marked region when I visit the other buffer,  
*Shell Command Output*, which opened in the lower half of *shell*  
buffer – actually the mark was cleared as soon as the shell command  
had completed and the buffer was split:

This elder version shows a different behaviour, keeping the region  
high-lighted but clearing it lately when I finally type C-y after  
returning to *shell* buffer and pressing Esc-> so that it inserts the  
killed line from *Shell Command Output* at the propmt:
