Correct, wxTE_RICH uses a different native control under Windows and it
appears to behave like the Linux GTK control. Not sure what will happen on
wxMac.

and other messages on the GetStringSelection thread.

It is very annoying, but I don't know whether Vadim plans to do a fix. The
problem is that if you have written code for Windows expecting it to work
one way all your code will break, but I think this is a nasty bug.

You could bring this issue up on wx-dev and see what kind of play it gets.
