I often like to set a mark (with C-@) and then move the cursor to another
location to, say, cut a section of text.
Under certain circumstances, when I use search (C-s) to move the cursor, and
then move the cursor a bit more (with, say arrow keys), emacs moves the mark to
where the search started ("Mark saved where search started").
1. Is there a way to get emacs to leave the mark where I explicitly set it?
2. Under what circumstances does emacs decide to ignore the mark that I set
explicitly and set its own mark?
3. By what logic does this editor allow the user to set a mark and then ignore
that setting?
