That's what I'm trying to explain. Mouse selection now uses the
(only. OLDVAL) mechanism implemented part of the shift-selection changes
installed many months ago:
*** If a command sets `transient-mark-mode' to (only . OLDVAL), that
means to activate transient-mark-mode temporarily, until the next
unshifted point motion command or mark deactivation. Afterwards,
reset transient-mark-mode to the value OLDVAL. The values `only' and
`identity', introduced in Emacs 22, are now deprecated.
Mouse-selection is now a little "stickier", and this behavior is good in
most cases. But the way ansi-term is set up, the mark never gets
deactivated. That's why this bug occurs.
