   That's a tough one. And the versions are all over the place.
At one time there were 3 completely different richedits, all with
the same version, that could be distinguished only by file size!

   I have docs somewhere that I've downloaded that detail updates,
such as find backward being added in RE 2, if I remember right.
VB6 RichTextBox is actually based on RE1, but I'm using msftedit.dll,
which is richedit50w. Then there are separate versions involved with
MSO. It's very nutty. I've also read that some people think RE2
is faster/better than RE5. I haven't found that to be true. In tests
of RE2 and RE5 on the same computer, I've found that RE5 is generally
about twice as fast, but that the two were comparable in some cases.
As near as I can tell, RE2 is slower processing complex richtext encoding,
but as it gets simpler the two show less difference.

   Last week I was dealing with an odd problem that's typical. I have
a Find function that selects the found word. In RE2 the word
stays selected with focus on my Find window. With RE5 the selection
disappeared. Not goo. But I finally found a simple solution: I use the
EM_HIDESELECTION message just after selecting the found word. But
looking up the MS docs it said hiding the selection was the default action.
They don't mention that it's only a recent change.

   Another glitch in RE5: When pasting text, the caret gets moved willy
nilly after all operations are ceased. That doesn't happen in RE2. The
solution I found was to track EN_SELCHANGE and put the caret back
after the RE is done screwing around.

   So I might be able to offer help on specific things but I don't have
any exhaustive list of issues. I also don't use .Net, so I don't know which
RE you're using. I'm creating it directly from msftedit.dll
and subclassing it. Interestingly, it produces RTF files that say
richedit20 in the header. But spy++ recognizes it as richedit50w. (There's
no A version in richedit50, as I understand it, so I've had to rework
string functions.)
