Hmm. I don't know whether I interpret you correctly, but if I do:

when you typee C-space, you *anchor* the region (i.e. you set the
beginning of it). Its end is at  "point" (that is, the cursor) -- so it
now most-probably has zero width. Once you start moving point, you
should "see" a region, spanning the buffer portion between "mark"
(that's where you hit C-space) and "point" thats where you moved (the
cursor) to).
