I suppose this issue was discussed in bug#9541 and in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-04/msg00399.html

They look related, but I don't see anything helpful there.
The bug discusses clicking inside scroll-margin (I'm not), and the fact
the mouse-clicks set the mark is declared intended at the end.
The emacs-devel link describes a problem which I don't encounter, and
seems to fizzle out in the end, without resolution.
(setq deactivate-mark t) works, by the way. I just don't understand why
I have to do that, and if I should do something else.

As Johan mentions in this thread ...

... why you have "to do that".

And Chong answers that this behavior is intended. And the bug is closed.

If you look at my examples, the "non-working" one does exactly the same
thing as the working one. The only difference is the command name.
I guess the reason is in this mouse-drag-track code:
;; Find its binding.
(let* ((fun (key-binding (vector (car event))))
(do-multi-click (and (> (event-click-count event) 0)
(functionp fun)
(not (memq fun '(mouse-set-point
mouse-set-region))))))

Probably. Ever since that change I get an active region in at least
three independent contexts, one of them being Info. But I was too lazy
to look into this issue yet.

Hi all,
If I bind a command other than `mouse-set-point' to [mouse-1], the mark
is active after the mouse click. Example:
1. (global-set-key [mouse-1] (lambda (e) (interactive "e")
(mouse-set-point e)))
2. Click somewhere in a buffer.
3. Press `C-s', then search for some existing word.
=> the region will be active and span from the position of the click to
the new point.
If, on the other hand,
1. (global-set-key [mouse-1] 'mouse-set-point)
2, 3: same as before.
=> the region is not active.
Should I (setq deactivate-mark t) inside the command body?
