BTW, I enabled transient-mark-mode right now in order to test Yuri=E2=80= =99s = suggestion for emulating notepad, and I noticed that non highlighted = regions get deleted with CTRL+W as well if transient-mark-mode is on. > C) IMO delete-selection-mode should never cause text in a non-active > region to be deleted. Again, it does. It does with paste, and maybe even more consistently wit= h = kill-region (also with transient-mark-mode on, see above). > And I can't reproduce the behavior (not that > I seriously expected to, given that it's apparently intermittent.) > I do have a question for Alexandre, though... has this ever happened > with typed text, or only pasting/yanking? I have no remembrance of this happening on an invisible region by typing= , = even typing the delete key. It only happens with kill-region or paste.
