The emacs under those two linux distributions has no problem at all. But when i transfered to ubuntu, I lost the highlighting of a marked region, i.e., the selected region using keyboard can not be highlighted. E.g, when you using \C+space mark a begining of a region, and then using the left or right arrows to move the cursor, nothing happened (it is supposed to extend the colored region from the position where \C + space marked). However, when I reach the end of the region, and using alt+w to cut it, it still works. This problem is very annoying when you using the keyboard for editing in Emacs, because you can not see the selected region, they are in darks. I also try to emacs -q to ignore my profile, the same thing happened. Does anyone can tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks.
