Hi all,
This is not a bug, it's a wrong feature:
- transient-mark-mode on by default is a bad idea
- transient-mark-mode is a bad idea per se: you must press more keys and
waste energy for no reason
- Active Region Highlighting is nonsense if you use rectangles such as in
C-x r t
- Active Region Highlighting is a pain if you change your mind and no more
want to act on the region you just marked
* transient-mark-mode off by default is a possible workaround to this bad
situation where everybody must set it to nil in the configuration file
Bye.

A few releases ago theese three lines weren't necessary in .emacs.el:
(global-set-key [home] 'beginning-of-buffer)
(global-set-key [end] 'end-of-buffer)
(setq transient-mark-mode nil)
