S-down to highlight has vanished

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I filed another report about this a few days ago, but now I have some
very strange new data:

EXPECTED RESULT:

         S-down in a gnus summary buffer would highlight the current
         line and move the cursor down.  S-up would do the same but
         move up, S-left and S-right would highlight one more char.

WHAT HAPPENED:

         I upgraded my Mandriva to the newer Gnome, and as you will
         see elsewhere in this report, I am using the emacs 22 gtk
         edition.  After the upgrade, this feature was lost, but then
         it came back; I thought it was because I had selected the
         Options/ActiveRegionHighlighting -- whatever I did, S-down
         came back.

         Noticing that mandriva now had a package for the Emacs-22
         snapshot, I installed that, and it also had the desired S-down
         behaviour and Options/ActiveRegionHighlighting was already
         checked.  Unfortunately it had other problems such as the wrong
         tool menu for Gnus *Group* so I went back to the CVS and did an
         update -AdP and rebuilt new binaries.

         the new binaries have ActiveRegionHighlighting checked, but
         it does _not_ highlight with S-down.  If I do an F1-k and press
         S-down, it tells me the command is "down, remapped from S-down"

What happened?  If I run the other Mandriva-compiled emacs22, it will
highlight, but not in this one (compiled to the same prefix=/usr)
.. how could one binary have different user-options than the other?
Or does this mean I perhaps overlooked some gtk-library needed for the
compile?

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/share/emacs/22.0.90/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
