Subject: 24.0.50; Caps Lock triggers set-mark-command
Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:43:43 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Turning on caps lock also turns on set-mark-command.
All C- and M- moving commands from then on mark text
into a region.
This does not apply for the four arrow keys.

To reproduce:
1) Write some text.
2) Set caps lock to on.
3) Move around the text with C-p, C-n, M-b, M-f and other
C- and M- keys for moving point.

Region is now marked despite that no C-<SPC> was pressed
or otherwise set-mark-command invoked.
