IMHO, it's a bug.

I often get this: I want to copy more or less large blocks from one
file to another. I have both open side by side. I mark the block in
file A, switch to file B in the next window (^K^N), and try to copy
(^K^C). The marking of the block has then disappeared and the action
says: "No block". If I copy two smaller blocks of the same text
instead, it works.

I just can't reproduce consistently. I think I have also seen your
behavior once.

Moritz
