That will break the common sequence C-@ C-s which *should* mark the region from where you started to where the search completes. The OP wants to deactivate the region if he searches after copying to the clipboard, not every time he does a search. If this happens automatically when using cursor movement commands, it seems like a bug if it doesn't also happen when doing a search. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me ***
