On further investigation, this is weirder than I thought. It seems to make a difference whether I'm physically typing at that computer or using ssh: With my .emacs, either sitting at the problematic computer, by ssh from another Linux box, or by ssh from a Mac terminal: * the region face definition (above) looks right * transient-mark-mode is on * the region is active * I *cannot* see the region! With -q, sitting at the problematic computer: * the region face definition (above) looks right * transient-mark-mode is on * the region is active * I *cannot* see the region! With -q, by ssh: * the region face definition (above) looks right * transient-mark-mode is on * the region is active * I *can* see the region. Is it possible that this is an X configuration issue?
