Not sure why you expected the mark to deactivate in this scenario. How is this different from typing "C-x C-x" instead of M-@ (with the rest of the recipe the same)? > it runs against my general expectation that selection goes away after > any motion that is not specifically directed to extend/shrink > selection. Selection does, but you didn't create any selections by the above sequence of actions. You've set a region and activated it. Shift-selection is not the same.
