The following is from the discussion in the
gnu.emacs.help newsgroup:

With `transient-mark-mode' t the region becomes
inactive when you move to a buffer position that is
not yet created by `picture-mode'?

C-f/C-b/C-n/C-p should automatically insert spaces to
extend short lines when necessary. This does not
happen.

I hope the above description is clarifies the problem.
 

Sincerely,
