No, I think he meant down. I noticed something similar some time after
upgrading to 5.3.2. I use c:space to "set mark" and c:n to move forward
a character in Emacs with the intention of later doing a selection
between mark and point. In 5.3.1, I was able to do this in DrRacket,
that is, the Emacs cursor commands extended the selection. Now it
doesn't happen any more. I did look in the keybindings and notice that
shift seemed to be needed now. Still haven't figured out if I want to
change the keybindings or change my behaviour. --PR
