First I'm not sure if you prefer me to post to the bug or the mailing list so please tell me if I should restrict myself to the bugs list instead.. Anyway, I think that it's an actual bug with cua-mode or something because the deactivate-mark-hook isn't fired when the region is removed, repeated pressing of C-g doesn't fire it either. It's also a consistent behavior, when cua-mode is active the deactivate-mark hook is not fired (by using git blame) I noticed that there was a change in September last year or something which modifies some bits about how cua-mode handles the mark. Please tell me if I'm wrong or if there is some additional digging I should do to further diagnose this issue.. -- Thomas Frössman http://t.jossystem.se
