Yes, I just tried this and can confirm the "zap" behavior is there only after `cua-mode' with -Q in GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of 2019-09-23, modified by Debian One thing I wonder tho is... why do you mark a region and press "A" to begin with? What's the purpose of doing that? If the "zap" isn't what you want, that is? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
