Which sytem is that? If it is KDE or GNOME based, maybe there's some

i use only enlightenment 0.16. is it minimalistic enough ?
I don't know... enlightenment is a kind of desktop too, isn't it? Maybe
there's some bad interactions with the clipboard... I've been using
Windows for the last 6 years so I am probably talking nonsense here.
ok, i run X without any WM or desktop and came to this -
it _seems_ (its difficult to test extensively as you cant switch between
windows without WM :) that motion itself is much better, but what remains
is extremely slow motion when selecting text with shift+arrows
Even with a single instance? Following our recent cleanup in this area,
there should not be any buffering done at selection time, only at
clearing selection time. Still, LyX request the X11 selection handle
upon each selection operation (such as selecting text with
shift+arrows); requesting the X11 selection is not supposed to be costly
at all so I am tending to think that maybe you X server is buggy. You
could try to upgrade it and see how it goes.

i considered that this slowness is just consequence of the motion itself
but now it seems to be issue itself.
Looks like yes.
