Only in so far as I expected transient-mark-mode to allow mouse-drag-
region to return upon mouse-up, which it used to do under 21.x. So in
that sense, it fails to work. It may well be that all other features of
transient-mark-mode do work when the variable is set.
In Emacs 21.X, when bound to a mouse-down event, this:
(defun do-drag (event)
(interactive "e")
(let ((transient-mark-mode t)) ; transient mark
(message "DRAG STARTED")
(mouse-drag-region event)
(message "DRAG FINISHED")))
and this:
(defun do-drag (event)
(interactive "e")
(let ((transient-mark-mode nil)) ; no transient-mark
(message "DRAG STARTED")
(mouse-drag-region event)
(message "DRAG FINISHED")))
produce different behavior w.r.t. mouse-up. In 22.0, they produce the
same behavior. Unfortunately, it's not the behavior I need.
