> This bug has not been forgotten, but AJ wanted this function implemented in a different way that is correct.  First EM_DISPLAYBAND must be implemented and then EM_FORMATRANGE.  This is being investigated.

Could we have the plan AJ envisioned? I doubt he will implement it himself
nowadays.
So at least someone else could implement it.

Right now, we know AJ will not accept anything out of his plan, but we do not
know what is the plan.
Or is the plan only that EM_DISPLAYBAND must be implemented first then
EM_FORMATRANGE?

I have been paying for crossover since 2003 to contribute financially.
There were a lot of improvements in a lot of domains. But 1 in the 10 Windows
apps I use on Linux is broken by this missing feature:
(endless loop of:
01b0:fixme:richedit:editor_handle_message EM_FORMATRANGE: stub
01b0:fixme:richedit:editor_handle_message EM_FORMATRANGE: stub).

I would like to get rid of this riched20 native dll.

I have been looking at this bug for more than 15 years...
I know AJ is great but he is not eternal. If at least we could know what he
wants for riched20 to implement this function.
