bug#2449: 23.0.90; Disabling transient-mark-mode doesn't work well in ansi-term

[Matthieu Moy]

Hi,

When one disables transient-mark-mode in an ansi-term (term.el), and
then select a piece of text with the mouse, then the behavior is the
one of transient-mark-mode although it has been disabled.

Steps to reproduce (in emacs -Q for example):

M-x transient-mark-mode RET (to disable it)
M-x ansi-term RET RET
ls (at the shell prompt)
select text in the *ansi-term* buffer with the mouse.
ls

Expected behavior: the selection disapears.

Obtained behavior: the selection follows the cursor, at the prompt.

Emacs22 had this right, this is a regression.

Thanks,
