Subject: bug#10195: 24.0.92; M-w may no longer provide visual feedback
Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 11:09:53 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111202110953.0484349381.qww314159@jberkenbilt-linux.appiancorp.com> (raw)
Type some text. Save it in the kill ring with
C-a C-SPC M-f M-w
Then do this again:
M-w
In emacs 23, the cursor would bounce between the point and the mark the
second time M-w was pressed, since the highlighting of the region turned
off after the first time. Or, if transient-mark-mode is nil, then the
first M-w would bounce the cursor between the point and mark. In
emacs24, M-w seems to never cause the cursor to bounce between the point
and mark. I don't see anything in NEWS about this change, and I don't
see anything in the documentation of kill-ring-save that discusses this
or how to influence this behavior. I personally do not use transient
mark mode, so this cursor movement is the only visual feedback I have
that I have selected the region I intended to select. While I've been
using GNU emacs since 1987 and this behavior is a relatively recent
addition, I had no idea how much I've become accustomed to it!
