No. You need a paragraph that wraps. Try my screenshot. (Sorry no web page.)

Place the cursor here between two spaces and type
\family sans
S-Left
\family default
.
Why is
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
between
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
highlighted? Note also a redraw problem when the highlight goes.
\layout Standard
Now do the same, put the cursor here between two spaces and type
\family sans
S-Down.
\family default
Why hasn't the text
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
between two spaces and
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
been highlighted but that on the next line down has.
Note again the redraw problem when the mark is cancelled.
\layout Standard
Is this enough?
