I think I am close to correctly fixing #8543, where search finds the same word twice when switching directions.
See the patch here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/attachment/ticket/8543/0001-This-patch-flips-the-cursor-but-sel-is-lost.patch The only problem I have is that LFUN_SELECTION_FLIP loses the selection (this is a problem because it looks bad and if you change directions twice in a row we are back to the original problem): Why is the selection lost? Where is it being redrawn? How can I use cur.selectionBegin(), cur.selectionEnd(), cur.selBegin(), and cur.selEnd() to do one of the following? (1) keep the selection or (2) lose it but redraw it how it was after I move the cursor Thanks, Scott
