When I run my lyx 1.5svn (qt3) , I can mark something and paste it with the middle button. The selection disappears, but I can still paste more of the same. Well, text only, floats and such indeed only works for the first mouse paste. highlight == selection is indeed a nice concept. How about keeping it by *not* removing the selection when middle-click pasting? Let the highlighted selection remain (unless it is being messed with) then we can paste all over the place with middle clicks too. Helge Hafting
