Help: Inconsistent selected texts of TMemo and TRichEdit

I assigned the content of a TMemo to a TRichEdit. Then I gave both TMemo and
TRichEdit same values of SelStart and SelLength. I found the selected texts
of those two controls might be different. Does anyone know what causes the
inconsistence? Is there any way to correct it? Any suggestion will be
appreciated.

I am not certain, but rich text contains hidden codes with the text
format. I could be that your selected text contains these codes and
counts them as they would normal characters.
