On revision of writing, I often want to move a sentence around to fit
into right place, without loosing the sentence from sight.  Most of the
time I cannot relocate the sentence to the best place by single
drag-and-drop operation thus I want to maintain region active.

I found that I did not notice problem pointed by Mattias because I
assign `undo' by `redo+.el' to C-/.  I agree that undo behavior by C-/
with Emacs -Q is inconvenient!
