When I use C-@ or other keybindings to set a mark, the background color of the marked region remains unchanged, while it does change when I select the region with mouse. This occurs both in console and X. So anybody can help? I will be very grateful. To get more reasonable behavior (IMO), use both delete-selection-mode and transient-mark-mode.
