select text scrolling too fast

1999-01-29 Thread Bill Simpson 

If I select text with the mouse I have an annoying problem: if the text to
be selected stretches beyond the normal one page view of the document, the
document scrolls, BUT it scrolls so fast I have no control over what gets
selected! Basically I select too little or too much (e.g. the whole
document!). This problem has a large impact on my work.

How can I change this behaviour? (If I can't, I hope it gets altered in
future versions)

Thanks very much for any help.

I don't know why I've never complained about this before, except that I
only use LyX on a laptop and I thought that perhaps the problem was the
glide-pad, which is a bad mouse substitute at the best of times. But it's
true: text selection does scroll far too fast. Much as I like games of
quick reactions, there are times when I'd rather just be able to select
the two previous paragraphs...
