Yes. There is a bug in the reference manual. If you look at
gtk-editable.ads you will see that it is:

   function Get_Chars
      (Editable  : access Gtk_Editable_Record;
       Start_Pos : in Gint := 0;
       End_Pos   : in Gint := -1)
       return         String;
   --  Get the text from Start_Pos to End_Pos.
   --  If End_Pos is negative, the text from Start_Pos to the end is returned.
