It is not a regression; you are asking for a feature that never existed. > In Emacs versions prior to Emacs 23 an important feature was the > ability to extend or reduce the active region by moving the cursor. > E.g C-SPC followed by C-f. > And it did not matter how the region was activated (how the mark was > set). You could, for example, double-click a word or a line or a sexp > using mouse-1, then use C-f or M-f to extend the region etc. I checked in Emacs 22: double clicking with the mouse to select a word, then using C-f, makes the region inactive. Emacs 24 behaves similarly. Maybe this is not what you meant. In that case, I suggest (not for the first time) giving a step-by-step recipe to reprouduce the exact behavior you think is problematic.
