Now, region highlighting can = take a back seat to other highlighting. Not good.

 

As I said in that thread, "Selection hig=
hlighting should, at the very least by default, visibly cover the entire se=
lection."

 

I use a current emacs build from VCS. When you use hl-line-mode with the= default settings, the highlighting of the current line takes precedence ov= er the region highlighting. In my opinion this is bad usability, since you no longer see where the region is, and in = this particular situation where the current line is would be obvious withou= t the highlighting (the user is in the middle of selecting the region so he= knows where he is in the file I guess).
