hmm I tried to find any switch in the documentation, but AFAIS it's an
integral feature of transient-mark-mode to disable the highlighting
after any changes in the buffer: 'Changing the buffer "deactivates"
the mark.'
C-h d mark.*mode will help you list all commands related to this
behavior.
I have two suggestions
- either explicitely mark the region by memorizing point and mark or
getting those positions from the mark-ring
- or use narrow-to-region and widen afterwords, like this you can use
anything you want on the region.
