2485	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.

FYI, this causes another issue that will be reported in in bugtracker ""_GUICtrlRichEdit_GetFont does not return an empty string for mixed fonts"".
