when you are in Notepad, using a quite large text file, if you try to use the 
find function of notepad, NVDA doesn't focus on the resutls.
Yes this is a WinApi limitation. We can't retrieve caret position properly if there is a lot of text in a plain edit field. I think this has already been discussed and if I remember correctly we are limited by the int data type which can't exceed certain value. This value means character offset from the begining of a document.
