Selection goes invisible after _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetFont

[ILLBeBack]

In a RichEdit control, the selection goes invisible (not the text, the highlighting) after using UDF _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetFont.  The selection remains invisible even if _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel is used afterwards.  The script below will demonstrate this. 

 

Run the script and click the button to get started.  A series of message boxes will pause the script at each step for verification.

 

Can someone please confirm this.
