After a bit of think, I still don't understand what you are doing exactly.

If you rewrite the TextEditor control, or adapt it, it's up to you to 
adapt your code so that it works with both TextEditor 3.18 and 
TextEditor 3.19.

TextEditor 3.19 internals are not compatible with TextEditor 3.18 
internals because it has more features, based on the new 'gb.highlight' 
component. Mainly now highlighters can be embeded with different 
background colors. For example: Gambas code inside CSS inside HTML.

So please explain me again what your problem is exactly. :-)
