<span style="font-size: 10pt;">> setText() uses the low-level Scintilla SCI_SETTEXT which accepts a '\0' string, ie. you will get the same result if you used Scintilla.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Hi Phil,</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I'm using Python</span><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">3 and before I tried setText and now I tried as you suggested:<br>
</span>
<blockquote><span style="font-family: Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">qscieditor.SendScintilla(SCI_SETTEXT, bytes<span>("Test\nText\nIn\n\0An\nQscintilla\nEditor", encoding="ascii")</span>)<br>
</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">and I g</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">et the same result.<br>
I looked into the C++ setText method and it uses this line:<br>
</span>
<blockquote><span style="font-size: 12pt;">SendScintilla(SCI_SETTEXT, ScintillaBytesConstData(textAsBytes(text)));</span><br>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Is there
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">may</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">be an</span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> error in how the <font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ScintillaBytesConstData</span></span></font>
or <font size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">textAsBytes</span></span></font> convert the text?<br>
I'm only guessing here.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
