The same was true if one was pressing both the shift key and Up. Starting with openSUSE 13.1, the new emacs does not allow to do this any more. The culprit can be found in two lines in the file .gnu-emacs (which in fact were there since a long time but did not cause any issues, probably because cua-mode has been modified to not reassign the corresponding keys any more): (global-set-key [S-up] 'previous-line) (global-set-key [S-down] 'next-line) commenting them out fixes the problem - and honestly, I do not see any sense for a declaration like the above, because the down - key provides the functionality, so why assign shift-down the same as down ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load cua - mode in emacs 2. try to mark an area by pressing up/down and shift in parallel 3. Actual Results: Area is not marked Expected Results: Area should be marked -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
