The function is called differently in the two cases: * backtrace with ESC ESC : (org-babel-mark-block) org-babel-mark-block() eval((org-babel-mark-block) nil) eval-expression((org-babel-mark-block) nil) call-interactively(eval-expression nil nil) * backtrace with M-x org-babel-mark-block org-babel-mark-block() call-interactively(org-babel-mark-block record nil) command-execute(org-babel-mark-block record) execute-extended-command(nil "org-babel-mark-block") call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil) I don't know if that accounts for the difference - my guess is that it probably does, but I don't know how.
