Well, perhaps an ill-timed can of worms, but the selections area still
has some irritating known problems AFAICS. I haven't personally had
much time to look into them for the past, uh, year.
I think the two of most concern for usability are probably "selection
resurrection" (#8996) and "surprising scrolled selection" (#9623),
though YMMV. Both are still present in the 24.0.94 pretest (tested just
now), but #9623 might be considered to count as a regression, with the
appropriate squinting.
#8996 probably doesn't though - obviously select-active-regions didn't
default to on in 23, but if you do turn it on the same behaviour is
observed, so not a regression, same bug in 23 and 24.
#8996 has a working patch, but it is ugly and probably not trunkworthy,
there has to be a neater way to do it...
