Sorry - yes I DID mean shift+down once the selection is highlighted not down by itself.

I checked my keybinding settings as you asked and they are the same as you mentioned.

I've been trying out previous versions (to find where the behaviour changed). I've since re-installed 5.3.3 completely and it's behaving correctly now, so I assume it's something else that caused the problem.
Perhaps I should have done that before bothering the list here. Sorry.

Still it seems to be back to usual now.

The keystrokes suggests (control-shift-home and then down) don't move the selection for me; after the down, I go back to the unselected state.

Meanwhile, control-space, control-n works in the way you would seem to want it to work. Is there some more complex sequence that causes trouble?

        Just to double check: you mean shift-down, not just down, right?

        DrRacket does indeed implement those keystrokes itself, but
        I'm seeing what
        you describe as the 5.3.1 behavior in 5.3.3 and in the git
        head under mac
        os x and under a relatively recent git version under linux.

        When you choose the Edit | Keybindings | Show Active
        Keybindings menu item
        and search for home, do you see "select-to-beginning-of-file"
        as the
        c:s:home key and when you search for "s:down" do you see
        "select-down" as
        the corresponding keystroke?


    No, I think he meant down. I noticed something similar some time
    after upgrading to 5.3.2. I use c:space to "set mark" and c:n to
    move forward a character in Emacs with the intention of later
    doing a selection between mark and point. In 5.3.1, I was able to
    do this in DrRacket, that is, the Emacs cursor commands extended
    the selection. Now it doesn't happen any more. I did look in the
    keybindings and notice that shift seemed to be needed now. Still
    haven't figured out if I want to change the keybindings or change
    my behaviour. --PR
