Unfortunately I have no idea how to proceed. I guess you should look how src/frontends/Selection.h is implemented. I understand that you are in a hurry, but do you have any idea, on the top of your mind, why cur.selectionAsString(true) does not get anything in event MOUSE_PRESS (patch attached),

Personally, I really like to be able to copy/paste (using the selection, I gather) using only the mouse in emacs (it is actually even better, since one can cut/paste using only the mouse!). So, we are both interested. JMarc, which part of the code should I look at? I could not find where the sel

Actually, after thinking about this a bit more I came to the conclusion that the current behaviour in LyX is currect, and KDE is playing too many tricks. Only limited applications like xterm that do not have a real clipboard may need to do some tricks. I checked my x programs. firefox, kate,
