I've sadly been struggling with this for a while, but whenever I select text with my mouse in Aquamacs, it automatically highlights the end of the region and will continue to highlight anything typed after it, until I select somewhere else.

Selecting Text After

Kinda a minor, but very annoying issue...

possibly due to stuck Option/Alt (Meta) key

perhaps related problem that I have, is difficulty in copying region using M-w. if I hold Meta by itself for too long before hitting w, it goes into highlight mode, and doesn't "copy" the text..

  • Thanks, I have had the problem that text gets inexplicably highlighted and not copied when I attempt to M-w it, and have been struggling to find out what happens. It turns out that if meta is pressed when I select something with the mouse, the selected area becomes "secondary selection", which is what the yellow means. – njlarsson Jan 04 '15 at 13:47
