It is mostly the color but I guess the stickyness I seem to see might
be a problem without the color... Its likely I'd have selected regions
and not know it... Not sure how much havoc that might lead too, but I
don't remember it being a problem before the advent of the coloring.
But then I guess you are saying there other changes that go along with
a selected region.
I have a hunch it would take me mnths or even yrs to notice which
behaved in a way I'd like. Can you spell them out a bit more?
