Specifically, when I left-click on the scroll scrollbar, it sets a mark whenever the cursor moves, causing the region betw where the cursor was and where it is to become highlighted. This also happens if I left-click and drag along the scrollbar. It didn't behave like this before and I find it very annoying! I've tried turning transient-mark mode on/off but that doesn't make a difference. This is the version of emacs that I am using: GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0) of 2009-09-27 on palmer, modified by Debian I've tried removing and re-installing emacs and I've deleted my .emacs file and .emacs.d directory, just to make sure there was nothing there causing this. Oh also, when I start emacs I get the following message in the terminal (emacs:3741): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times I don't know if that is related, but it's also new since the upgrade to 9.10 Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/change-in-Emacs-highlighting-behavior-tp27390648p27390648.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
