bug#51831: 29.0.50; Region not highlighted

[Carlos Pita]

Hi all,

after typing ctrl-space and moving the point around, the region
is not being highlighted.

This was tested running emacs -q on a build from recent master.

I verified that transient-mark-mode was enabled. Other than the
missing highlight, the behavior is as expected.

Maybe of interest: shift-arrows selection does highlight the region.

Best regards,
Carlos

I tried this (on Debian/bookworm) on the current master (with "emacs
-Q", not "-q"), and:

So it works for me.  Can you reproduce the problem with "-Q"?  If so,
perhaps it's a problem only on Macos?

Hi Lars,

Thanks for the prompt reply. You're right, I realized it's an issue
with my setup. During the last hour I both recompiled emacs from
master and changed my keyboard layout while native compilation was
taking its time. Under the hood macOS enabled the ctrl-space shortcut
for switching between keyboard layouts so it was interfering with
emacs. I've already disabled the shortcut and everything is working as
usual again. Sorry for the confusion! I'm closing this ticket.

Best regards,
Carlos
