Usually after I release "ctrl+n", Emacs will leave the currently marked region for further commands. But in the reported version of client, Emacs keeps scrolling down until it reaches the end of the file. There is no way to stop it within Emacs (e.g., "ctrl+g").

I do not get the difference between this and the description above.
Please explain!

Please run "xev -event keyboard" inside the session and check if you
see all the KeyPress and KeyRelease events for you keys. If anyone is
missing this could explain your issue.
