I must confirm editing problems are occuring in Code Editor with the
win32lib_C080507_2320.zip as well as the new Win32lib. My appologies to Chris for
not doing a better job testing earlier this summer.

The last few days I encountered a number of non-reproduceable problems such as
when highlighting text the highlighting was off by the tab amount and in some
cases spanned lines when it should not, switching events froze code editor
completely using right arrow moved cursor to the next position on screen as
intended, followed by CTRL+right arrow key moving to the next word as intended
but followed by right arrow (without CTRL pressed) incorrectly leaping to the
next word when it should not since I did not have CTRL pressed.

I went back later to reproduce but could not.

So my statement to Chris that his latest version worked just fine was not
correct.
