No! Fortunately, LyX 2.2 on linux behave the way I expect: When I
shift-click somewhere, I get a selection from the current text cursor
point to the shift-click point. No matter how the text cursor got
there.
Are you sure? I do not see that.
Could it be an OS specific or library version specific issue then?
I use LyX 2.2.1, as distributed by arch linux. (64-bit.) Keyboard moves
the selection start. (QT 5.7)
I also tested LyX 2.1.2 as distributed by debian. Keyboard still moves
the selection start. (QT 4.8.6)
When I select, I usually drag with the mouse or use shift+arrow keys. So
there may have been versions with strange behaviours I never noticed.
But in the two versions above, I get what I expect:
1. I type 10 lines of garbage text
2. click on one particular line
3. arrow down (or up or sideways) to some second line
4. shift+click on a third line
I now look at a light blue highlighted selection that goes from the
second line to the third. The first line mentioned is not an endpoint -
it is forgotten by LyX, and usually by me too.
