Hm. Sorry. Don't know about this. Might be you have an extremely wide window to start with? Have a look at the variables split-height-threshold, split-width-threshol= d, split-window-preferred-function. > Also, it seems I cannot create a region without highlighting the > selection. I prefer the old default in 22. You want to switch off transient-mark-mode. For the current session you just say "M-x transient-mark-mode", this toggles the current setting; if you want it permanently, "M-x customize-variable RET transient-mark-mode" and follow the instructions.
