HexEdit fails to change edited values

[rob]

A consequence of using the STC as a backend store: when editing in the middle of a unicode string, updates will fail because SetSelection? fails when the start or end point breaks a unicode string.

(In [1260]) Refs #425: attemped to find start and end of multi-byte sequence before replacing the value. Still doesn't work for all cases

Maybe it could work if, upon entering HexEdit? mode, the code page for the reference STC is changed so that it isn't unicode.

Well, when I do this:

self.buffer.stc.SetCodePage(0)

I get this error, so maybe it's not possible to change the code page?
