Thanks for your reply

I have checked Transient Mark Mode, it seems that it has been enabled.
But the problem still exists


/***************************************/
Transient Mark Mode: Hide Value Toggle  on (non-nil)
   State: EDITED, shown value does not take effect until you set or
save it.

Non-nil if Transient-Mark mode is enabled. Hide Rest
See the command `transient-mark-mode' for a description of this minor
mode.
