Subject: bug#17555: 24.4.50; 'mark-paragraph' does not allow extending the region backwards
Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 22:23:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAH8Pv0gUdDeJrzzsSePU6L1ZzHt0SS6a_ZfwH3bPxDuPp-MZdA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
After reading (info "(emacs) Marking Objects") and doing some tests, I
wonder why 'mark-paragraph' does not behave like 'mark-word' and
'mark-sexp' when the mark is located before point. In that situation
'mark-word' and 'mark-sexp' move the mark backwards to select an
earlier element (which I think is TRT), but 'mark-paragraph' moves the
mark forward instead (like when the mark is after point).
Could this inconsistency be fixed?
TIA
