Subject: Erroneous selection extension in Emacs version 22.1 for Win32
Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2007 23:22:16 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <547653.58049.qm@web58605.mail.re3.yahoo.com> (raw)


[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5891 bytes --]



If a text is selected and the selected text is scrolled away from the visible 

window (using the mouse pointer on the scroll bar on the right or on the up

or down scroll button, top and bottom right), the selected area is extended

at the same time as the original selected text moves away from the window.



I checked the previous version of Emacs that I used (21.3), and it did not behave in

this way. In my opinion the current behavior is a bug. There are situations

where "automatic extension of selection" feels natural; for example, when one

selects a text, and, while the mouse button is pressed, the mouse is

simultaneously moved downward, even below the emacs window. In that case the

text is scrolled upward and the selected area is extended at the same time as

the originally selected text travels upward. In my opinion the bug I am

reporting consists of the fact that "selection extension when mouse button

pressed" is not cancelled once the mouse pointer enters the the scroll bar

area.
