richedit text color and font changes when ctrl-a

[TheAutomator]

sorry for the crappy code but when I press F5 and do ctrl-a and start typing, the font is black and default again...

Selecting all text in code and setting character attributes helps but this is not the right way I think, especially when opening and closing files.

Becouse i left the temporary solution in (edit: commented outthat part)
not good for all cases, especially when loading new files into the edit: 

_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetSel($Edit1, 0, -1) ; temporary fix but not the best solution
