I observe the below problem in [1], but not in [2].

Recipe from "emacs -Q":
  M-x tool-bar-mode RET F3 C-x h C-w

The mark should be deactivated after `C-w', but it is not, and it is
deactivated upon moving the point.  Nonsensical.

I guess you meant "M-w", not "C-w".  The latter deletes the whole
buffer, so the region is empty and you cannot see the bug.

Should be fixed now.

> Nonsensical.

If you mean that bugs should make more sense next time,then OK, we
will try.  Otherwise, this remark is uncalled-for.

Thanks.

Yes, I meant "M-w".  Sorry.

Thank you.

I meant that the behavior I observed makes no sense to me, IOW, it is
a misbehavior or a bug.  Just that.  No offense intended, of course.
I'm not very good at English, so maybe "nonsensical" could lead to
misinterpretation.

We could add a suitable remark to the "Coding Conventions" section.
