Hello, I'm trying to implement a SyntaxHighlighter in a way that in fine will permitted me to switch the highlighted text from one variable to an other in a word like text editor. At the moment I managed to highlight the text but as soon as I edited the text before the highlighted region everything seems to crumble. Note that the HighlightRegion is updated correctly in most case but that visualy it didn't follow when I added text before it or use the dell key (the strangest of all being that pressing backspace with the caret before the HilghlightRegion work perfectly)
