I do not use the wheel very much too, but the occasions on which I use it are just when I want to mark a wide region by scrolling! Actually, I did not realize that someone might want to: => mark a (small) region => scroll down with the wheel => paste the region contents previously selected and, of course, this is just the opposite of what I normally do! > > Emacs 22.3 seems to make both me and the OP happy. > > When transient-mark-mode is off, it does not have the issue I > complained about.

I am not a lisp/emacs developer, so do not know whether this might be a good/feasible option: what about a t/nil configurable variable such as wheel-scroll-extends-region? thanks and ciao gabriele
