I think Chong meant a mouse movement by just a few= pixels, not characters. At least that would explain perfectly my am-I-to-s= tupid-to-use-a-mouse-or-what moments. I obviously moved the mouse a pixel o= r two while clicking, resulting in a mark being set at point. C-w or M-w af= ter that kills or copies an empty region. That's exactly what I managed to = do every once in a while in Emacs 23. At least Emacs 24 is consistent, it n= ever works ;-). > > > FWIW, I don't think I have ever mistakenly dragged the mouse slightly b= etween > > down and up. =A0Maybe I've been lucky. > > Yup, checking my medication might solve my problem, too. :-D > > Tobias So is there any possible way to just click mouse button 1 without changing marks? I have many functions rely on the mark positions and I still need them in my daily work. Thanks.
