It does without cua-mode (if transient-mode is on).
I think it should do it when cua-mode is on t.
I believe it should be activated to behave the same as when cua-mode is off.

Hi Lennart
It is by design - maybe bad design, but it is documented:
| C-x C-x runs the command cua-exchange-point-and-mark, which is an
| interactive compiled Lisp function in `cua-base.el'.
|
| It is bound to C-x C-x.
|
| (cua-exchange-point-and-mark ARG)
|
| Exchanges point and mark, but don't activate the mark.
| Activates the mark if a prefix argument is given.
I suggest that you could make an option cua-exchange-point-and-mark-activate-mark
(default off) that reverses the meaning of the prefix argument.
Feel free to make that (tiny) change.
Kim

Oh, I see. However reversing the default would let it be a little bit
more in line with transient-mark-mode now. That would make it easier
for those that want to move between cua-mode on/off. What do you
think? (There could still be an option of course.)
However there will still be no way change a "shift-style region
status" to a "set-mark-command style region status". Beeing able to do
that would be quite useful many times.
I suggest a small change in cua-set-mark for that. (cua-set-mark is
the cua version of set-mark-command.) As it is now cua-set-mark (ie
C-space) sets the mark to point if "shift-style region" is active. How
about instead converting the shift-style region to a "set-mark-command
style region"?

I think only very few users "move between cua-mode on/off".
But you can change the default if you like.

I never missed that possibility, but YMMV.

That would be ok with me.
