The fact that you mention that your selected region always stays "invisible" is bothering me. The region is probably getting selected and displayed but you probably just are not seeing it because of the "region" face. Possible reasons: - Resolution of colors on your system - Accessing a remote machine via something like VNC. I have personally seen VNC degrade the color resolution based on the network connection speed. Check this out: http://imgur.com/a/XkIyk Here the upper picture (where you can distinguish the background of the "sample" text) is a screenshot of my VNC session under normal conditions. The bottom picture (where the "sample" background blends with the rest of the background) is what I get under poor network connection or if I force my VNC to represent colors with just 256 options (8-bit color). So in summary, if you do M-x describe-face RET region RET and you see that the "sample"'s background is not distinguished from the rest, THAT's the problem! To temporarily fix it, do M-x customize-face RET region RET and change the Background color to anything that makes the "sample" in that buffer stand out and then see if the invisibility spell is broken. PS: All the developers who responded to you have been very polite. They all have been very helpful to me. I respect all of them.
