[nvda] Re: notepad and NVDA, bug

So  would this but show up in other editors as well?
I'm talking Windows access bug, not nvda here, as it surely is one of Windows. This does explain why some screenreaders can get very confused when you attempt to highlight text in some more creative ways.

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.
