Me: The EM_EXSETSEL message doesn't work properly. In certain (rare) cases, when sending a chrg.cpMin...cpMax range, the cursor gets set to cpMax but no range is selected. Testbed here

M$: It turns out this bug has been fixed in Windows 10. However, software should be backwards compatible at least to Windows 7 IMHO (I don't really care for XP, although I loved it).

In my opinion, I still suggest you update the system to win10 or win11.

If you want to Microsoft fix the issue in win7, I'd suggest you could submit a feedback/feature request about this API/feature in the Feedback Hub. You could find the Feedback Hub in the Start Menu. Please select Developer Platform->API Feedback as the category when you submit your request. The related team will check the request.

Me: I haven't been able to find this page, despite asking lots of questions to my friend Google. Are you sure the page exists? If yes, can you give me a URL, please?

Me: Sorry, Janine, I don't see a "Feedback Hub", and I don't have an "App". What are the options for a "Windows" user equipped with a browser called "Microsoft Edge"?

Do you have a "URL" for me?

M$: Feedback Hub is an app. You could get it from the Microsoft Store. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/feedback-hub/9NBLGGH4R32N?hl=en-us&gl=us

Me: I am on a WINDOWS machine and have a WINDOWS problem, and you, Microsoft, suggest to download an Android app. Seriously?

M$: The Feedback Hub app is an app that comes with Windows. Usually, you could find the Feedback Hub in the Start Menu. If you couldn't find the Feedback Hub in the Start Menu. You could get the app in the Microsoft Store.

Fascinating, Janine, this "Feedback Hub". Have you read the three reviews at that page? Not mine ;-)
Btw clicking into "Get in Store app" or into the big image in the middle doesn't do anything. Broken links, I suppose.

Once upon a time, people hated Microsoft Windows because of its many bugs, its absolutely useless "Windows Help", and because of Microsoft's de facto monopoly. Nowadays I feel pity for Microsoft.
