Subject: bug#18590: 24.3.93; Scrolling changes/forgets selection
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 10:07:02 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k34li7ex.fsf@moondust.localdomain> (raw)
After highlighting/selecting text in a window, scrolling the window
vertically with the scroll bar or with the mouse moves the selection so
that text intentionally selected is no longer selected.
To reproduce:
1. emacs -Q
2. Open a file "longer" than the window such as the Emacs README file. E.g. C-x f R E A D M E
3. C-x h ; Select all the text in the window.
4. Scroll the window with the scroll bar or the mouse.
Expected behaviour:
The text that is selected/highlighted remains selected/highlighted.
Observed behaviour:
The selection changes as the window is scrolled up and down.
===
Note 1: This also happens when the selected text was selected by holding
down the shift key and using the arrow keys to extend the selection, or
if the text is selected with the mouse.
Note 2: When a smaller region is selected, the selection is sometimes
lost entirely after it is scrolled off the top or bottom of the window
and then scrolled back in to view.
Note 3: I see the same (or similar) behaviour in Emacs 24.3.1 (which is
the oldest version I have on this system), but that does not make it
correct. Is this bizarre behaviour intended? It seems that if the user
makes a selection, Emacs should not change their selection without good
reason; is there a good reason?
