I'm the original complainer Stefan mentioned, and here's my complaint: (1) and (2) as above. Type `C-h'. Highlighting disappears. Any keyboard input -- even a prefix key! -- removes the highlighting. Why? If you set track-mouse (like my follow-mode.el package does), even unbound mouse-movement events now have the same effect. -- Kevin Rodgers
