I am using LyX 1.6.0 on OS X 10.5 and I can confirm the behavior of the Shift-key problem. If I use the Shift key plus the left and right arrows, no text is selected, and the arrows simply move left and right as though Shift were not being held down (same behavior for both left and right Shift keys). However, using the Shift key with the up and down arrows works fine. This issue is not present in 1.5.6 or 1.5.7.
