Line numbers for soft-wrapped styled text?

[Bob Sneidar]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. textChanged triggers a handler that reformats the text every time. In essence, you are doing what a word processor would do.

And do this every time the field got resized and text added or deleted. If you're dealing with a field with mixed styles then your problems are even worse.
