--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
You of course mean selection accelerates but only when you pass the
mouse-pointer off of the document canvas, down or up. Yes, true but that is our
behavior--no functional need to change.

Rather you should Zoom-out, to avoid pointing the selection off the canvas
while selecting.

Or during selection, w/mouse-pointer on canvas, <left-mouse> + <Mouse wheel>
will slow selection ~3 line blocks as you move the pointer. 

But LibreOffice provides very functional mouse 2-click word, 3-click sentence,
4-click paragraph selections. 

And a real gem,  1-click to mark beginning --> mousewheel scroll -->
<Shift>+1-click to end selection.

Give that a try and best to keep the mouse pointer on the canvas!

IMHO => WF
