In case this needs more votes, yes, this is a 'bug'. In the sense that it violates the behavior of lyx1.1.6, Xemacs, kedit/kwrite/kate, jed, and just about every text editor on the face of the planet (don't know about vi). So maybe someone out there likes it, but most of the text-editing population is going to throw a fit when faced with this. And it must be easy to change, something like call unselect() after the paste() function (I don't know the code, but I can't imagine this being hard). Cheers, f.
