bug#13626: 24.3.50; (Regression) `C-w' doesn't deactivate the mark when recording a keyboard macro

bug#13626: 24.3.50; (Regression) `C-w' doesn't deactivate the mark when recording a keyboard macro

[Dani Moncayo]

I observe the below problem in [1], but not in [2].

Recipe from "emacs -Q":
  M-x tool-bar-mode RET F3 C-x h C-w

The mark should be deactivated after `C-w', but it is not, and it is
deactivated upon moving the point.  Nonsensical.

I guess you meant "M-w", not "C-w".  The latter deletes the whole
buffer, so the region is empty and you cannot see the bug.

Should be fixed now.

If you mean that bugs should make more sense next time,then OK, we
will try.  Otherwise, this remark is uncalled-for.

Thanks.

Yes, I meant "M-w".  Sorry.

Thank you.

I meant that the behavior I observed makes no sense to me, IOW, it is
a misbehavior or a bug.  Just that.  No offense intended, of course.
I'm not very good at English, so maybe "nonsensical" could lead to
misinterpretation.

We could add a suitable remark to the "Coding Conventions" section.

Closing.
