This second item is inherent to the structure of the document. You can
use `org-down-element' to move into the next subtree.

I don't think the bug comes from `org-forward-element'.

If you use C-space in the middle of the block and then M-x
org-forward-element, the block will be marked. If you do the same with
C-<down> instead of M-x org-forward-element, it will not be marked.

There is a similar problem with `org-end-of-line' (it will lose region
if called through C-e, but not with M-x org-end-of-line), also on source
blocks.

I don't know the root of this evil.

Anyhow, you can remap <C-down> to whatever suits you.


Regards,
