Re: transient-mark-mode in 22.0

    So does anyone besides me see it as a problem that mouse-drag-region
    does not return when the mouse drag is complete, but instead requires
    yet another event of some kind (any kind) after the mouse-up to let it
    return?  Is that not a new bug?

That function's is to implement the mouse click.  Other uses are
not part of its purpose, and I would not want to risk rewriting it
merely for the sake of other uses.

However, Stefan has an idea for simplification that might be ok.
