I would but lets try this: OK, in the following discussion let's
forget about mouses.  I was not using a mouse at the moment.  OK, make
your emacs so that areas between point and mark are highlighted.  How
I do this is in http://jidanni.org/comp/emacs.txt but maybe we don't
need to look at that.

Miles> The highlight that happens _while your dragging the mouse_ is actually

no mouses, just old fashioned setting a mark.  Anyways as I write this
I do C-x 2 then I sent a mark and move down so I start scrolling.  All
ok so far.  OK, I start repeatedly hitting the set mark [C-@ for you]
command, etc.  Anyways, sooner or later I get some "unauthorized
activity" in the other window.  Mainly as I just do something that
caused the highlighting to go away rightly in this window, all the
sudden there is highlighting getting turned on in the other window.
Hopefully my description will get you on the trail so I don't have to
dig deeper.
