Umm. I've just had a look at what you do about this in the Qt frontend :-(
It seems that both frontends suffer in the same way. Selections are made by
setting a global callback and then hoping we find the right WorkArea. All
works today because we have only one WorkArea but it's pretty nasty.
It appears that this is one thing for which a
BufferView * LyXGUI::currentBufferView();
might really, truly be needed.
After all, that's effectively what we are doing now. Hence I feel that there
is more than a little justification for LFUN_MOUSE_ENTER/LEAVE lfuns, if only
to set current_view.
Please tell me I'm wrong with this analysis.
