Comment (cmd+/) also makes the selection disappear

This does happen but there is a command to toggle the active mark if you didn't know:

  {"keys": ["ctrl+m"], "command": "sbp_swap_point_and_mark", "args": {"toggle_active_mark_mode": true}},

This might be able to help for now. It is removing the selection but not the mark so this will reactivate the selection.

@perrierism @bf0 We are about to have a new release soon that will try to list all the new features. A bunch of things have been added over the last year or 6 months that are not properly documented so be on the lookout.

@excetara2 thanks, sounds great

If I remember, shifting the region and leaving the selection highlighted produced an unexpected selection. I will see if I can fix it.

I have confirmed that it's not an easy fix.

One of the problems is that if you define a sublime region at position P and then start typing at position P, the region moves to the right along with your typing. There's no way to configure the marks, as far as I know, to allow you to specify whether that should happen.

But there are other issues as well.
