Fix for issue #1812

MattHeffron commented 2 months ago

From issue #1812

The second returned value from read-from-string appears to be used in SEDIT-COMMANDS in extract-current-selection. I don't know why this isn't affected by this.

SEdit didn't have an issue with this because read-from-string was using the start value with the same interpretation as byte position, not character position. This is corrected in commit 07e858d. Ready for review.
