Hi I am frustrated in my attempts to select very long passages (for deletion) in a LyX document.
When I attempt to select by a. Left clicking and holding then b. Dragging the mouse things work as expected until I hit the last visible line on the screen. Then there is a mighty upheaval and I find I have selected way beyond my intended target. So still holding down the left button and trying to go back up a little - again LyX over reacts and I find myself back earlier in the text than where I started. Questions: 1. Am I doing something wrong? 2. Is there a better way to select largish chunks of text (say a whole chapter). 3. Is there any way to mark places in a document then delete to the mark (as in vi) John O'Gorman
