Actually, any highlighted region is a transient region. Motion commands
deactivate the current selection only in the case where the selection
was made with shifted motion commands.
So C-s should only deactivate the region if it has been activated by
shifted motion commands.

Yes, that would make a lot of sense, although C-S-s in my setup seems
never to reach Emacs (probably caught by something like
a window-manager).
