When I highlight something in LyX, it does not seem to be copied to the global selection buffer (ie not pasteable in another app), but it _is_ copied to LyX's buffer. I can hit C-c and then paste via selection paste in another app, but this seems strange and rather unintuitive. Shouldn't C-c copy to the global clipboard, not the selection buffer and selections copied to the global selection buffer? I am mostly just curious why it was implemented this way?
Also, a selection does not seem to go away if I do this: 1) Select some text with mouse. 2) Paste said text into ERT inset (now pasted text is highlighted). 3) Place cursor somewhere else in ERT inset (highlight still there). Interestingly, if I then do the same thing, but this time paste the text next to previously pasted text, the pasted text is not highlighted at all. There is some randomness here also. -Brian
