I investigated a bit into why selection with mouse double/triple clicking
fails. It seems that the selection is being made but not drawn, because
LyXText::drawSelection checks for bv->cursor(), while the selection has been
passed to the (local?) cur in dispatch.
The attached patch gets the selection back, but it does not work for insets.
Double clicking inside a footnote lets the cursor jump outside the inset.
Triple clicking selects the line of the owning main text, instead of only the
insettext.
Cursor people, please have a look.
Regards,
Jürgen
