This may be the answer. deactivate-mark's value is t Documentation: If an editing command sets this to t, deactivate the mark afterward. The command loop sets this to nil before each command, and tests the value when the command returns. Buffer modification stores t in this variable.
Yes, but even if I set it to nil with `M-:', select a region with the mouse, and type a prefix character (C-h), the highlighting goes away. I can examine its value with `M-:' after selecting the region, which verifies that it is still nil. Merely typing a key causes the the highlighting to disappear, even though no command has been executed. -- Kevin Rodgers
