Hi Phil,

I'm using Python3 and before I tried setText and now I tried as you suggested:
qscieditor.SendScintilla(SCI_SETTEXT, bytes("Test\nText\nIn\n\0An\nQscintilla\nEditor", encoding="ascii"))
and I get the same result.
I looked into the C++ setText method and it uses this line:
SendScintilla(SCI_SETTEXT, ScintillaBytesConstData(textAsBytes(text)));
Is there maybe an error in how the ScintillaBytesConstData or textAsBytes convert the text?
I'm only guessing here.

Thanks,
Matic
