1. transient-mark-mode is nil 2. I mark a chunk of text using one of the following methods with the mouse from time to time: a. double click on a word b. drag with mouse-1 c. click with mouse-1 and click with mouse-3 3. I then either a. delete (double-click mouse-3) b. paste (mouse-2 elsewhere) c. click somewhere again using mouse-1 to make sure that the position is correct, and then paste (using mouse-2 or C-y). In the first two cases, the highlighting stays, in the third case highlighting disappears as click around or use movement commands and to find the correct place where I want to paste.
I'm the original complainer Stefan mentioned, and here's my complaint: (1) and (2) as above. Type `C-h'. Highlighting disappears. Any keyboard input -- even a prefix key! -- removes the highlighting. Why? If you set track-mouse (like my follow-mode.el package does), even unbound mouse-movement events now have the same effect. -- Kevin Rodgers
