select-active-regions was winding up setting incorrect selections in 
some mouse interactions like the ones you were doing.   It "snapshots" 
the last active region's contents when the mark deactivates so that it 
can persist as-is after the mark is deactivated.  Without the 
reordering, it was getting the wrong string sometimes but not always (in 
a pattern that of course retrospectively makes sense, but at the time, 
man...)
