That's similar to what > happens in other apps, AFAIK. > Okay, those two lines suggest a possible misunderstanding, or you were just talking loosely - in tmm, C-SPC sets and activates the mark. mouse-1 clicking (or zero-length drag) just happens to deactivate it. FWIW mouse 3 clicking doesn't deactivate the mark, but may move the mark or point according to a nice little do-what-I-mean algo. Moving the the cursor after C-SPC doesn't activate the mark in tmm, it just makes the already-active region become nonzero sized.
