The cause seems to be the use of (custom-menu-create 'fortran) in fortran-mode-map. Because the fortran customization group has subgroups, this results in something like: (defvar fortran-mode-map ... ; define-key bindings (easy-menu-define fortran-menu map "Menu for Fortran mode." '("Fortran Comment" :filter (lambda (&rest junk) (custom-menu-create 'fortran-comment)))) ...) When this item is in the mode map, selecting any menu item seems to deactivate the mark, if it was defined by dragging with the mouse. Eg: M-x fortran-mode click and drag with mouse-1 to highlight a region Tools->Spell Checking->Spell-Check region "The mark is not active now" I don't see why this should be - can anyone help? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
