If I now move the cursor with an arrow key, the yellow region does not disappear (as it did before) but is instead extended as I move the point (luckily, the content is not copied into the kill-ring), and some commands appear to be limited to the yellow region. I think this is called "Transient Mark mode", but I did not touch `transient-mark-mode', so I should not be getting it, right? C-g appears to remove each instance of this "active region" (?), but I would rather avoid having to hit C-g after each selection operation. So, how do I restore the original behavior?
