Hello,
When I open a footnote and I want mark the entire
text I have a problem.
I put the cursor at the start of footnote text, then
press shift key and down arrow key, then with right
arrow key I mark until final point of footnote.
All OK.
But if I press a key one more time, for error, marked
zone continue from top of footnote box and I lost
control on marked zone.
I need cancel mark and make all again from start.
Regards.

Lyx 1.4 does not support selections that spans
"half a footnote and something outside it as well".

So whenever you select through the boundary
of a footnote, you end up selecting the entire
footnote inset.  The same goes for all other insets,
such as tables and boxes.

This makes sense, for if you were able to make such
a selection, what would happen to cut/copy+paste?

Clearly, a cut should not remove the footnote itself
if only some of the contents is removed.  But how about
pasting then?  Should that create a new footnote? Or
should you only be able to paste such a cut into another
footnote?
