I didn't say that you should dump mwEdit and use SHEdit instead; I just
wanted to point out that there is a working editor which does not have
the problems you are currently having with mwEdit.

SHEdit itself is an abstract editor core, it is a FCL component. You
implement the interface methods for drawing, keyboard, clipboard etc. in
whatever class you want.

This is only a demo renderer. If you wanted to adapt SHEdit to LCL, I
would take the KCL version as template.

...and SHEdit works for about 8 months now ;)
