Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I have `transient-mark-mode t'
When I right click into a buffer that creates an active region.
If I now scroll down and right click again, the active region is
extended as expected.
If I keep on scrolling and right-clicking, so that the start of the
regions scrolls off the window, the region is truncated and now starts
on the first visible line.
Not sure, if this behaviour is expected, but it's different from what
emacs22 did.
Also, this is very surprising, since pasting the region into another
bufer through middle-click, does not paste what I expected. Thus messing
up the target buffer and causing data loss that way.
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.92/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I can't reproduce this. Did you scroll using the mouse-wheel, the
scroll-bar, or some other method? Please provide a *precise* set of
instructions for reproducing this bug, starting from emacs -Q.

Yes, sorry for being unclear. I indeed found, that this only happens
when I use the mousewheel (which I always do: scroll-bar-mode nil).
Here's the recipe:
1. emacs -Q
2. C-x C-f file
file should contain more than a screenfull of text.
3. Right-click somewhere in the window to produce an active region. If
you didn't move point before this, the region starts at the very top
of the buffer.
4. Right-click somewhere further down to see, that the region is
resized.
5. Scroll down using the mousewheel, until the point moves. This
happens, when point touches the upper window border.
The mark is now moved from the very top of the buffer, to the first
visible line.
Starting from 2. somewhere towards the end of the buffer and scrolling
up (in step 4.) has the same effect.
Note, that this does _NOT_ happen, when using the scrollbars or C-v.
It _DOES_ happen, when using M-v
This does _NOT_ happen, when I set the mark (C-SPACE).
| Way to scroll | direction | region is growing |
|---------------+-----------+-------------------|
| scrollbar | down | t |
| mousewheel | down | nil |
| C-v | down | nil |
| scrollbar | up | t |
| mousewheel | up | nil |
| M-v | up | nil |
When the mark is set through C-SPACE:
| Way to scroll | direction | region is growing |
|---------------+-----------+-------------------|
| scrollbar | down | t |
| mousewheel | down | t |
| C-v | down | t |
| scrollbar | up | t |
| mousewheel | up | t |
| M-v | up | t |
What I expected to happen:
I simply expected the region to grow in either case (scrollbar, wheel,
C/M-v).
At least, I expected scrollbars and mousewheel to behave the same way.

I suppose it's due to that change:
2008-04-08 Chong Yidong <cyd@stupidchicken.com>
* mwheel.el (mwheel-scroll): Deactivate any temporarily active
region if point moves.
Could you try to
(1) check your scenario with `transient-mark-mode' disabled, and
(2) check your scenario with Chong's change reverted?

When point moves due to scrolling, the mark is deactivated---at least,
that's what I observe. This does not move the mark; it remains at the
same position as before, just deactivated. You can verify this with C-x
C-x.
So I don't see any bug here.

I also cannot see a bug here, so I am closing this. If you think there
is still an issue in the latest relase, 23.3, please reply and we can
reopen this if needed.
