Could be. I have some key binding like C-c l and maybe I make mistake
and press C-x C-l -- but hooo. when I pressed it on this line without
region all line was downcased.

"when used as a command, the text between point and the mark is
operated on." -- which means my mark could be anywhere in the file,
and if i press c-x c-l anywhere down, without marked region, all the
text would be marked. That is what makes it invisible.

So that could be that, thank you Sherlock.
