Hi,
since I moved to ubuntu emacs behave a little bit different. One of
these differences is very annoying. In many situation I loose the
region definition. E.g.: if I 'indent-rigidly' (bound to C-x C-i)
after the first time I loose the
definition of the region and I cannot go any further.
Similarly, if I mark a point and extend it using C-n, the moment it
arrives at the end of the file it forgets the position of the mark,
and no region gets selected.
Is there some settings that control this?
TIA
sandro

Does it help if you invoke Emacs with the --no-site-file switch?

Yes it does! in fact it goes back to the behaviour I was used to.
Digging into the /etc/emacs-start.d I found that emacs-extra package
was responsible . Emacs-extra also introduced the annoying color
choice that I needed to overwrite...
The annoying line was: (setq next-line-add-newlines nil)
Thanks for the hint
