Currently I do not find a single way to handle the following scenario
reliably: (1) Select some "region" of text, (2) scroll the window the
text appears in such that `window-point' gets relocated, (3) perform an
action on the region selected in step (1). Everything I tried so far
(transient-mark-mode, mouse-drag-region, delete-selection-mode,
pc-selection-mode, CUA-mode) failed. Any plans to handle this?
