* simple.el (deactivate-mark): Optional argument FORCE. (set-mark): Use deactivate-mark. * info.el (Info-search): No need to check transient-mark-mode before calling deactivate-mark. * select.el (x-set-selection): Doc fix. (x-valid-simple-selection-p): Allow buffer values. (xselect--selection-bounds): Handle buffer values. Suggested by David De La Harpe Golden. * mouse.el (mouse-set-region, mouse-drag-track): Call copy-region-as-kill before setting the mark, to let select-active-regions work. * simple.el (deactivate-mark): If select-active-regions is non-nil, copy the selection data into a string. (activate-mark): If select-active-regions is non-nil, set the selection to the current buffer. (set-mark): Update selection if select-active-regions is non-nil. * select.el (x-valid-simple-selection-p): Allow buffer values.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
