The local variables section should be commented, since it is not part
of your source code.  So, do not remove the comment delimiters.

It looks like the `f5' key has been bound in your setup to
`set-mark-command'.  According to `(elisp)Coding Conventions',

  "Function keys <F5> through <F9> without modifier keys are reserved
   for users to define."

So the key should be unbound.  Did you load the init file, or evaluate
the key binding expression before trying the key?
