The doc says nothing about selection with the mouse activating the
region and turning on `transient-mark-mode' temporarily. But it
does so.
emacs -Q
In *scratch* type this:
transient-mark-mode
(region-active-p)
mark-active
M-: transient-mark-mode ; to turn it off - verify with C-h v.
Put cursor after each of the sexps and hit C-x C-e. Now select each one
using only the mouse and use C-x C-e again for each.
Selecting with the mouse turns on `transient-mark-mode', at least
temporarily - the non-nil value is `(only)'.
Lisp users should be informed about this. For one thing, they will not
otherwise understand certain code, including `region-active-p', wrt
mouse selection.

I've now mentioned this in the manual in Emacs 28.
