If you select a region with any of these mouse commands, and then immediately afterward type the function key, it deletes the region that you selected. I mouse-1 say at the beginning of a line and mouse-3 past the end char. then hit the key. it does not delete the line "region" but only the last character. what am I doing wrong, how can I delete a region. I usually do C-w but that puts it in the kill buffer. thanks
