If a text is selected and the selected text is scrolled away from the visible window (using the mouse pointer on the scroll bar on the right or on the up or down scroll button, top and bottom right), the selected area is extended at the same time as the original selected text moves away from the window. I checked the previous version of Emacs that I used (21.3), and it did not behave in this way. In my opinion the current behavior is a bug. There are situations where "automatic extension of selection" feels natural; for example, when one selects a text, and, while the mouse button is pressed, the mouse is simultaneously moved downward, even below the emacs window. In that case the text is scrolled upward and the selected area is extended at the same time as the originally selected text travels upward. In my opinion the bug I am reporting consists of the fact that "selection extension when mouse button pressed" is not cancelled once the mouse pointer enters the the scroll bar area.
