Hi,
I've only recently upgraded to Emacs 24 (GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-pc-solaris2.11,
Motif Version 2.1.0)). Before, I used Emacs 22 for the most part, but also
Emacs 23
(briefly) in some environments.
I noticed that apparently starting with Emacs 23, the highlighted region
behaves differently when dragging the scrollbar handle with the mouse. As the
highlighted region
moves out of the visible area of the window, the highlighting is suddenly
expanded to follow the point. This means it is not possible anymore to leave
something highlighted
and pan around in the file at the same time.
I have transient-mark-mode turned off, but changing its value does not change
the described behavior. Also, it is reproducible with 'emacs -Q' and seems to
happen for GTK
builds as well.
Is there some way to turn this off? Or am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot,
Raimund
