In Solaris, TextArea.getSelectionStart() returns 8, but in NT, it returns 10.
It is a bug. (June2, icho@eng)
---------------------------------

1.
Try to compile and execute 2. program and type in displaied TextArea following text
abc<RETURN>
def<RETURN>
and push "dump" button.
I think TextArea's selections are 8,8, but it will be printed 10,10.
I think it's not correct.

2.
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
class test extends Frame {
    Button button = new Button("dump");
    TextArea textarea = new TextArea(12, 40);
    public test() {
        add("Center", textarea);
        add("South", button);
        pack();
    }
    public boolean action(Event event, Object arg) {
        if (event.target == button) {
            try {
                String text = textarea.getText();
                int length = text.length();
                System.out.println("length="+length);
                System.out.print("text=");
                for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
                    System.out.print(Integer.toHexString(text.charAt(i))+" ");
                }
                System.out.println("\nselection="+textarea.getSelectionStart()+","+textarea.getSelectionEnd());
                return true;
            } catch (Exception e) {
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        new test().show();
   }
}
