Bug in Macro Template expert fixed, yet another Unicode issue in GExperts

Delphi, GExperts 1 Minute

As I stated before I prefer good bug reports on GExperts over money any time. Philip von Melle kept testing and providing feedback even after I thought the issue was already solved.

The issue was that a Macro Template

(%SELECTION)

used on this code

// öäüß

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowMessage('TEST');
end;

while TEST was selected
generated code like this

// öäüß

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowMessage(''); (TEST)
end;

The reason again was improper use of positions and offsets into the editor buffer in conjunction with some Unicode characters above the code. So the insert position was calculated by 4 bytes too high, hence the macro code was inserted 4 characters behind the start of the original selection.
