comment region in fortran mode

[Hezi Gildor]

using recent cvs gnu emacs
I start emacs using

emacs -Q file.f

I drag the mouse to highlight a region

mouse-1-> fortran->comment region

"error message: mark is not active now"

if I do set-mark using ctrl-@ or such, then use arrows to highlight a
region, then use the mouse to do comment region, it works fine.

any advice?

thank you...

If emacs crashed, and you have the emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
   `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
