I do not do Transient Mark mode myself. This one is hard to repeat. Everytime I see it happen I try to repeat it and it won't. The most common is the M-< as originally stated but I also see it other times. I believe this second way is when I position the cursor at the start of some text and then do a c-s sequence to move to some text farther down. I'll then hit <cr> to terminate the search and then c-w to cut the text block from the start of the search to the end of the search string. Sometimes I would also type c-a to not cut the line I searched to. Most of the time the c-x works fine but every so often it says mark is not set in the buffer. Then the c-x-c-x c-w sequence works. This first showed up in the 22.0.50 release I grabbed quite a few months ago. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
