[Bug-AUCTeX] 2005-05-02; environment insertion on active region unpractical

[David Kastrup]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.

If the bug (or problem) is triggered by a specific (La)TeX
file, you should try to produce a minimal sample file showing the
problem and include it in your report.

Your bug report will be posted to the AUCTeX bug reporting list.

Marking an active region, then using C-c C-e will leave point and mark
set to useless values.  I think that perhaps the best idea would be to
place point behind the \begin{...} like when done without active
region, and mark before the \end{...} so that you can activate the
region again to add add a nested inner environment.
