emacs -Q
M-x cua-selection-mode RET
C-SPC C-f C-f C-f
C-x C-x
now the selection should be active, but it is not.
This worked in emacs-23.3, so this is a regression.

Looks like this change was made deliberately:
revno: 102844
committer: Kim F. Storm <storm@cua.dk>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Fri 2011-01-14 16:06:17 +0100
message:
* emulation/cua-base.el (cua--init-keymaps):
Remap exchange-point-and-mark in cua-global-keymap.
The docstring of `cua-exchange-point-and-mark' says it does not activate
the mark.
Kim, could you confirm that this was the intention?

In emacs-22.3 and 23.3 it does activate the mark.
C-x C-x also activates the mark in the trunk without
cua-selection-mode.
Wouldn't it be better that instead of changing something that has been
present in two major releases and is consistent with the default behavior,
to change the docstring?

The current behaviour is "by design"
Personally, I find it very annoying if C-x C-x activates the mark with
cua-mode - as it becomes very
hard to enter another C-x C-x to cancel it (it actually requires three
C-x typed rapidly -- otherwise
it will delete the region. That is why cua-exchange-point-and-mark
doesn't activate the mark
by default.
- but with reference to bug #6199 on the same subject, I have already
approved to change the behaviour
--- if anyone feels it is necessary.
I think the following version should do the trick
(defun cua-exchange-point-and-mark (arg)
"Exchanges point and mark.
Don't activate the mark if a prefix argument is given."
(interactive "P")
(let ((ma mark-active))
(exchange-point-and-mark)
(if cua--rectangle
(cua--rectangle-corner 0))
(if arg
(setq mark-active ma))))

I agree that it would be very annoying if C-x C-x activates the region
when cua-mode is on!

It might be, but the behavior before your changes has been available in
two major releases (22.x and 23.x), with no complaints from users (that
I could find).
Changing behavior on a highly visible feature is not something that we
should take lightly.

You might want to do something different for cua-mode vs
cua-selection-mode (where C-x C-x has no other problems).

You are right -- maybe this version suits all:
(defun cua-exchange-point-and-mark (arg)
"Exchanges point and mark.
Don't activate the mark if `cua-enable-cua-keys` is non-nil.
Just activate the mark if a prefix argument is given.
See also `exchange-point-and-mark'."
(interactive "P")
(if cua-enable-cua-keys
(if arg
(setq mark-active t)
(let (mark-active)
(exchange-point-and-mark)
(if cua--rectangle
(cua--rectangle-corner 0))))
(exchange-point-and-mark arg)))
Would someone pls. commit this change.
Here is a change log entry:
* emulation/cua-base.el (cua-exchange-point-and-mark):
Fallback to exchange-point-and-mark when cua-enable-cua-keys is nil.
Then you can also close bug #6199
Thanks
Kim

This works fine.
Yidong, I think this can go in whatever branch will be used for 24.1.
(Sorry, I can't check it in myself).
