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)
