Further investigation: by commenting and uncommenting various bits of my .emacs file, I have found the culprit: (custom-set-variables ... '(pc-select-meta-moves-sexps t) '(pc-select-selection-keys-only t) ; '(pc-selection-mode t nil (pc-select)) ; this was screwing up the region-highlighting ... ) Commenting out the pc-selection-mode line (but not the two pc-select-* lines) fixes the problem. I don't even remember what that stuff means! Of course I'll look it up, but it must have been there for a long time and not caused any trouble until it interacted with something else that came with Gutsy (same problem using either emacs 21.4 or 22.1).
