I've been experiencing a similar problem on Ubuntu 10.10 and Lyx 1.6.7 (marking text with the mouse works normally, but text selections made via keyboard immediately deselect). It hadn't even occurred to me that this could be caused by a clipboard manager. I use the parcellite clipboard manager under Gnome and, sure enough, quitting parcellite fixes the problem! > Thanks a lot, > Bernd
