Windows XP SP2, clean install of new LyX 1.6 (classic
installer). I am working on divide&conquer with problem I have
with imported document, and I want to select large fragment of
my document by holding shift+up. After couple hundreds lines
LyX enters infinite loop (consumes half of my dual core) just
before chapter name. Only way to unlock the application is to
kill it.
Can anyone confirm such behaviour?
Yes, also on Mac with 1.6.0 and with the UserGuide. 1) Open the
user-guide 2) Select All -> copy 3) Go to end 4)
Shift-PageUP-PageUP-PageUP-... -> Freeze

Same problem here with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.5) and Lyx 1.6.0 (Nov 7 2008).
With User Guide open, and having copied even a word to the clipboard,
shift+Page Up a few times causes crash. Console shows:

Can't reproduce the error with Display Graphics switched off in User
Preferences.
