Unsual RichTextBox behavior

[jorgedec]

Just for what it's worth:

I was has having some strange behavior using a RichTextBox(RTB ).
What I was doing was I was loading some text into a RTB and and into an
object that would let me do searches on that text returning the
locations where the search text was found. I could then select and
change the color in the RTB. The colored text did not match up to the
search text.

What I found was that the RTB.Text before load does not equal RTB.Text
after load. It appears that before load each text line is terminated
with a CR & LF and after loading the text line is only terminated with
LF. So I was using before load to do the search and trying change the
color on after load text.
