bug#11221: Shift-select-mode has no effect -- interaction with cua-mode

[Brian Tannahill]

After working through my .emacs file I found that this problem goes away when I turn off cua-mode.  

Not sure whether this is actually a bug or if it's the intended behavior.

When I run emacs -Q and then do my custom keybindings, the problem does NOT occur. 

So apparently something in my init file is messing things up.  I'll work on isolating it.

Thanks.

I'm unable to reproduce this; even with shift-select-mode on. Note that
this-command-keys-shift-translated says:

  Shift-translation occurs when there is no binding for the key sequence
  as entered [...]

Does this happen if you start from emacs -Q?
