Public bug reported:
When using shift selection mode (i.e. shift-select-mode set to 't'), if I hold
down shift and an arrow key to select a long range (in any direction), the
display only updates to show the selection for the first keypress, and after
that does not update to reflect the selection until the arrow key is released.
This makes selecting by keyboard very hard as it's impossible to tell how much
has been selected.
Though this sounds like the behavior expected when 'redisplay-dont-
pause' is nil, that variable is set to 't' (and changing it has no
effect).
This does not happen with other text editors (e.g. gnome-text-editor),
and did not happen prior to upgrading (from Precise/emacs21).
The X server is Xming 7.5.0.62 on Windows .
