Title:
Can't set mark
Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi,
very strange effect with Ubuntu 14.04:
Usually I can set a mark (to mark a region) with Ctrl-Space under
Emacs.
It does not work to set a mark under 14.04. Now the very strange part
of the problem:
I have two desktop computers, one still with 13.10, the other with freshly
installed 14.04. And I have a server still running 12.04.
When I login to the server from the 13.10 machine with ssh -X to the
server and start emacs on the 12.04 server, I can use ctrl-space to
set a mark.
But when I login to the same server from the 14.04 machine with ssh
-X, starting the same emacs on the same 12.04 machine, I cannot set a
mark with Ctrl-Space. So maybe it's not a problem of emacs itself, but
something with the X and Keyboard environment.
To simple check this: Just start an emacs under Xubuntu 14.04, enter
some text, and try to mark a region by marking with Ctrl-Space.
