Testing with installed versions Inkscape 0.46, 0.47 and 0.48 on OS X, all show the same behavior: selecting (highlighting) text works as described in the manual for 0.47 <http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Text-Selection.html> with Shift+Arrows for characters (and additional modifiers for words and lines), and does not work with 'click' - 'Shift+cllick'.
