Yes, let me second that. I had modified my mac.bind file. When I used
LyX 1.6 initially I had problems precisely with selecting text using
SHIFT with the Left and Right cursor.
I then extracted the changes I had made to my mac.bind file and
inserted them back into the new bind file (inside the LyX package
bundle; right click on LyX application in the finder and select "Show
Package content") which I copied into the bind subdirectory inside my
LyX's Library directory.
It was advertised in the new release though, that old bind files may
not work properly with the upgrade.
This may happen to a lot of people, so i thought it was worth
repeating my experience.
