I'm I missing something here? query-replace-regexp highlights > OK. Hmm. I don't know whether I interpret you correctly, but if I do: when you typee C-space, you *anchor* the region (i.e. you set the beginning of it). Its end is at "point" (that is, the cursor) -- so it now most-probably has zero width. Once you start moving point, you should "see" a region, spanning the buffer portion between "mark" (that's where you hit C-space) and "point" thats where you moved (the cursor) to).
