You can do all the highlighting/selection with the keyboard.   The exact
keystrokes depend on your keybindings.  Here is a snippet from my bind
file; using these commands, you could highlight 4 paragraphs with 4
keystrokes.

\bind "S-C-Up"                 "paragraph-up-select"
\bind "S-C-Down"               "paragraph-down-select"

If you are unfamiliar with using key bindings, see the LyX User's Guide
and Customization help.

Yes, I agree this is an annoying problem.  Hopefully someone can enlighten
us as to how to fix it rather than work around it.
