I think, that's the case.

I'm happy to help.

No, all region commands work as usual. But with an *active* (colored)
region, ispell-word (not ispell-region) spell-checks the whole region,
not only the word at point. With that feature, you only need to
remember one keybinding/command, and emacs does what you want.

Hm, here it does colorize it. Did you forget to delete your
customization on the region face (in case you did that)?

Yes, emacs 22 did so. And emacs 23 should do so with
transient-mark-mode off.

Yep, as I said.

Well, now I'm pretty sure that you removed the background color from the
region face. ;-)
