Otherwise, `mouse-2' should do nothing on the scroll bar, AFAIK.) > Also, how do I permanently disable "Active Region Highlighting"? > (Select, scroll, paste is impossible when enabled.) That last part makes it sound like the only reason you want to do this is because of the bug mentioned above. > I disabled it, saved options, and restarted, but sometimes > new buffers re-enable ARH. I can see '(transient-mark-mode) > nil in .emacs config file already. Maybe the modes of those new buffers impose transient-mark mode? Have you checked the (local) value of variable `transient-mark-mode' in those buffers (use C-h v)? If not, consider filing a separate bug for this. You should be able to use the Options menu to turn off t-m mode and then use it to save your changes, and those changes should be respected in new Emacs sessions. When you file a bug, give a step-by-step recipe to reproduce it, starting from emacs -Q. (It's important to start from emacs -Q. Otherwise, there might well be something else from your .emacs or something it loads that is affecting the behavior.)
