I just tried it. I loaded an old document and searched for ligatures such as "ff" or "fi" but everything I found does not seems to be a ligature and I don't see any of the reported problems. The text changes color only when "Use system colors" is selected, but it suffices not doing that for avoiding it ;) Even in this respect I don't see any difference with master, if not for the fact that in the str-metrics branch the selection seems to be slightly lagging behind the cursor. Out of curiosity I then tried libreoffice and noticed that the selection is very similar to the LyX way when "Use system colors" is not checked. I used Qt 5.2.1 but I don't think it makes any difference. -- Enrico
