There may be a bug that does > this in a case where it should not happen. No I don't. I even have (setq-default transient-mark-mode nil) without remembering why I put that in long ago. You were nevertheless right: I found out that dragging the mouse to mark something sets transient-mark-mode to 'identity behind my back. Even with emacs -q. This then might be linked to another irritating thing I recently noticed: when double-clicking, the marked word is shown in region face, but reverts to normal face immediately. The next double click sets region face semi permanently (till doing something else). The next double click again only blinks region face, and so on. coralament / best Grötens / liebe Grüße / best regards / elkorajn salutojn Daniel Pfeiffer -- lerne / learn / apprends / lär dig / ucz się Esperanto: http://lernu.net/
