when i select subtrees and m-s-right, they demote, and then i have no
further use for the active region, and have to press c-g. is it possible
to turn off the persistence of the region so that it follows earlier
behavior and disappears once done?
i have not found a use for the new behavior yet, and would like to revert
if there is a var controlling it. thanks. i realize it was a deliberate
decision and must be a very useful one to others. :) ^G feels like a "get
out of wrongness" fallback command, not an "expected thing you to to turn
off the region" command. but that is just me.

No, it is currently not possible.

I do not mind a customization, but would like to see more users looking
for it or to see some use case explained. I find it hard to understand
why would people _not_ want to keep the region active :)

my q is actually why would a user want the region to remain active?
e.g. select region and then m-w deactivates it.
