Subject: bug#19841: 25.0.50; Doc for `transient-mark-mode' should say that highlighting is with face `region'
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 13:32:24 -0800 (PST)

Please update the doc string, the Emacs manual, node `Disabled Transient
Mark', and the Elisp manual, node `The Mark'.

While you're at it, please so likewise for the Elisp manual node `The
Region'.  (At least Emacs manual node `Mark' mentions it.)

It is not obvious to users which face they can customize to change the
`transient-mark-mode' highlighting.

This thread is one indication of the need for this improvement:
