I suppose I don't understand what you're trying to do.  What you seem to
be saying is that you want a way to disable all occurrences of active
region highlighting, even the momentary highlighting induced by dragging
the mouse (or double-clicking the mouse).  In that case, why not avoid
dragging or double-clicking the mouse?
