Re: Losing zmacs region when entering commands

I am experiencing a problem in xemacs 21.5.16 where the zmacs region
disappears as soon as I begin typing a command in the minibuffer while the
zmacs region is active. For example, I highlight a region and attempt to
type M-X indent-region, but as soon as I type the 'i' of 'indent-rgion',
the
zmacs region is deactivated. The odd thing is that immediately after
starting up, zmacs regions seem to work, but after working for a while the
behavior that I describe manifests itself and form that point on, zmacs
regions do not persist during commands. Has anyone seen such behavior.
What can I look for to attempt to diagnose the problem? Thanks in advance.

I have seen this in 21.5.16 on Mac OS X 10.3 but not when I use the set-mark
command to set the start of the region--only when I use mouse movement to do
the marking. Mine was when I tried to sort a region. When I tied the
command to a key and did not go through M-x (or when I used set-mark), the
region stayed active.
