Re: Replacing huge hidden selection when pasting text

["Alexandre Oberlin" <email_via@migo.info>]

Hi Kaushal,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am currently on Cygwin only, but I use  
different fonts on different systems, depending on what is available. If I  
explicitly define a region with e.g. SHIFT+arrow key, it is always  
perfectly visible.

M-x describe-face RET region RET (after points 1.2.3. of previous message):
Face: region (sample) (customize this face)

Documentation:
Basic face for highlighting the region.

Defined in `faces.el'.

            Family: unspecified
           Foundry: unspecified
             Width: unspecified
            Height: unspecified
            Weight: unspecified
             Slant: unspecified
        Foreground: unspecified
DistantForeground: unspecified
        Background: blue3
         Underline: unspecified
          Overline: unspecified

               Box: unspecified

              Font: unspecified
           Fontset: unspecified
           Inherit: unspecified


When I say "invisible region", I mean that it appears just like normal  
text.

Yeah, I even praised gnu.emacs.help in a blog of mine, and I stuck to GNU  
Emacs even when XEemacs was all the rage. But that apparently does not  
prevent GNU Emacs from self-immolation, notably on the altar of mainstream  
compatibility.

Cheers,
