Subject: bug#6803: 24.0.50; pc-selection-mode no longer plays nice with dired (or vice versa)
Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2010 13:07:02 +0200

Dired normally has the up and down arrows bound to dired-previous-line
(also bound to [p]) and dired-next-line (also bound to [n]), respectively.
However, when pc-selection-mode is enabled, these bindings are
apparently overridden now, to previous-line-nomark and next-line-nomark,
respectively, breaking the normal dired navigation (point is not
automatically put on the file name).
Looking at 'C-h m' for dired in an older emacs version (a 23.0.60.1
build) and today's bzr head, the cause seems to be that while the older
dired explicitly bound <up> and <down>, the current dired seems to rely
on remapping <next-line> and <previous-line> instead.
